Key Points:
- Micron Technology is breaking ground on a massive semiconductor factory complex in Clay, New York, potentially the largest private development in state history, with an investment of up to $100 billion and plans for four fabrication plants (fabs).
- The project, expected to span two decades of construction, aims to create 9,000 direct jobs and up to 40,000 spinoff jobs, significantly boosting the local economy but also increasing traffic, noise, and environmental impacts.
- The first fab is now projected to open in 2030, with subsequent fabs coming online through 2041 and full production expected by 2045; construction involves extensive site preparation, including clearing forests and managing wetlands, with up to 4,000 construction workers onsite
