Join us as we expand our U.S. investments and create ~90,000 direct and indirect jobs

Central New York offers a diverse talent pool, strong educational partnerships, reliable infrastructure and clean energy.

Micron’s investment will generate nearly 50,000 New York jobs: 9,000 new high-paying Micron jobs and over 40,000 community jobs – including suppliers, contractors and other supporting roles in the community.

Site preparation will begin as soon as the environmental review and permitting process is complete, and production output is anticipated in the latter half of the decade, aligned with global memory demand.

Micron has secured up to $6.4 billion in CHIPS Act funding for all U.S. projects, up to $5.5 billion in New York Green CHIPS incentives and eligibility for the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit (AMIC).

The Green CHIPS Community Investment Fund is a historic $500 million initiative focused on workforce development, education, community assets and housing in Central New York. Micron will contribute $250 million, with the remaining $250 million expected from New York State and other partners. 

The Community Investment Framework is a strategic partnership between Micron and Empire State Development (ESD) to build and transform the workforce for the future of semiconductor manufacturing in Central New York. It reflects shared values and priorities to ensure the region has the advanced skills needed for leading-edge manufacturing.

Micron and Empire State Development (ESD) have established a Community Engagement Committee with the Committee is made up of local stakeholders to ensure meaningful, ground-up participation and discussion of Micron’s implementation and investments in the region and also includes five ex-officio members. The formation of this group is a critical component of the Community Investment Framework agreement made between New York State and Micron in October 2022, including representatives from local government, community organizations, educational institutions and more. This committee will help identify community priorities (more details here) and guide investment decisions.

Micron's NY expansion project will create thousands of new jobs. Micron is working closely with local STEM programs, colleges, universities, technical schools, and other training providers to build a semiconductor-ready talent pipeline throughout Central New York. 

Micron is partnering with universities and community colleges across the state of New York with the focus on expanding access to engineering, technology, and science education for students. These partnerships also include strategic engagements with faculty and staff to modernize curriculum, expand experiential learning opportunities in cleanrooms and labs, and increasing opportunities for all students to acquire tangible semiconductor equipment, process experiences and skills.  Our partnerships also include pathways for students who start their journey at a community college and complete their engineering or other STEM degree at a university.
