Press Release

"This transformative federal grant is not only a major investment in New York's chips ecosystem -- it's an acknowledgment of everything we've accomplished so far to establish Chips Country in our state. From our groundbreaking Green CHIPS legislation to Micron's historic $100 billion commitment for a new campus creating 50,000 jobs in Central New York, we are laying the groundwork for a global hub for semiconductor businesses right here in New York State. I thank Majority Leader Schumer for his leadership in passing the federal CHIPS and Science Act and his help in securing this funding, and I look forward to a continued partnership with all of the local, state, and federal stakeholders as we advance our mission to bring the jobs and the businesses of the future to New York."
