Several hundred New York leaders stood in the middle of an open field under a giant heated tent Friday morning to witness the ceremonial groundbreaking of Micron’s first microchip fabrication lab at White Pine Commerce Park in Clay north of Syracuse.
The project has taken several years to clear environmental approval at the local, state, and federal levels.
Micron, an Idaho-based company, plans to build four mega fabrication plants over two decades on the site, making it the largest single private investment in New York State.
