The U.S. Department of Commerce confirmed a $6.1 billion grant for Micron Technology under the SWACCA-supported CHIPS and Science Act for the construction of two chip factories in Clay, New York and Boise, Idaho, as well as an expansion of an existing facility in Manassas, Virginia. As part of the announcement, Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement highlighting the impact of the CHIPS and Science Act and that Micron is “building these facilities by utilizing project labor agreements and registered apprenticeship programs, which will further strengthen local economies, support workers, and ensure the construction is completed on time and within budget.”
