“Micron’s announcement that construction is already moving ahead of schedule is exciting for Central New York and for the future of domestic semiconductor manufacturing. This milestone represents tangible progress on a transformational project that will strengthen America’s memory chips leadership and the related supply chain, create thousands of high-tech careers, and generate lasting economic impact across the region. At the same time, NY Creates is proud to partner with Micron on our High NA EUV Lithography Center and on the Industrial Manufacturing Technician (IMT) Apprenticeship Program, which advance the capabilities and talent needed to further strengthen the nation’s innovation ecosystem.”
