Micron Technology, Inc. is investing over $100 billion to build a new semiconductor manufacturing facility in Clay, New York, over the next 20-plus years. The project is expected to create thousands of jobs, attract more than 50,000 new residents, and spark significant new development in the Central New York region.

Is the region prepared for this Micron-level development?

From education and recreation to transportation and local government, they offer insights into how Central New York communities can prepare.

We appreciate the New York Association of Towns for featuring this important article on what is forthcoming for the region.
