Micron announced an investment of up to $100 billion over 20 years in chips manufacturing in upstate New York, which is expected to create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs over the next two decades.

“‘Chips are essential to our economy, and if we were to lose the ability to manufacture chips here in the United States, it would be a severe, both economic security and national security risk,’ Schumer said in an interview with The Associated Press. ‘This will be the most advanced memory chip manufacturing facility in the United States and probably the world. And, and it’s located in a place that will really benefit from it.’”

“The government leaders who were involved in the negotiations have high expectations for the project, primarily the creation of 45,000 jobs based in Central New York.  […] The efforts to attract technology companies were bolstered when both the state and federal governments signed individual legislation offering public support and tax incentives to build computer chips.”

“The commitment by Micron is a sign that the federal government’s prodding and package of generous incentives is helping to steer investment decisions. Legislation that passed in August, the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, provides $52 billion in grants and subsidies for companies to build and expand computer chip factories in the country. There is no doubt that without the CHIPS act, we would not be here today,’ said Sanjay Mehrotra, chief executive of Micron.”
