Micron New York Semiconductor Manufacturing LLC

Micron Proposed Project

Micron New York Semiconductor Manufacturing LLC (Micron) proposes to construct and operate a semiconductor manufacturing facility at the 1,400-acre White Pine Commerce Park located at 5171 Route 31 in the town of Clay, Onondaga County. Micron proposes to construct four fabrication buildings (commonly referred to as ‘fabs’), associated support facilities, stormwater management areas, driveways, parking lots, a childcare facility on a separate parcel on the east side of Caughdenoy Road, and a rail spur on a separate property on the west side of Caughdenoy Road.

The fabs would be built sequentially from west to east which would result in continuous construction activity on the Micron Campus from 2025 to 2041.

State Environmental Quality Review

The proposed project, and associated connected actions, are subject to review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).  On November 12, 2025, Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency (OCIDA), as joint lead agency with the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Program Office (CPO) created by the U.S. Department of Commerce, has accepted the Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS) for the proposed Micron New York Semiconductor Manufacturing Project. CPO and OCIDA jointly prepared this Final EIS to evaluate the potential environmental effects of the Proposed Project as required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and SEQRA. The Record of Decision Final EIS (PDF) can be found on the National Institute of Science and Technology website. Additional details can be found by accessing the Environmental Notice Bulletin.

DEC Permit Applications

The construction and operation of Micron’s Proposed Project requires DEC-issued permits under the New York State Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and the associated implementing rules and regulations (NYCRR) for impacts to regulated environmental resources such as wetlands, threatened and endangered species, water quality and quantity, air quality, and other regulated activities. DEC conducts a transparent and thorough review of all applications for environmental permits and requires all permittees to comply with permit requirements, including SEQRA, to ensure protection of public health and the environment.
