Press Release

Today, local Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand, a founder of the bipartisan Congressional High Tech Caucus, released the following statement in response to the news that AMD will be splitting and expanding operations with a focus on building a new chip fab plant in Malta.

"Today's announcement is a major step forward in our work to make the Tech Valley Region a global center of excellence for nanotechnology and advanced technology manufacturing. Not only will the Fab 4x project inject billions of dollars and thousands of jobs into our economy, it will generate new research and development opportunities for our universities, attract other companies to locate in our communities, and help our existing small and medium sized businesses grow and prosper."

Congresswoman Gillibrand recently hosted a second annual Upstate NY Economic Summit in Saratoga County focused on attracting new businesses and creating new jobs in our region.
