Micron New York Semiconductor Manufacturing LLC (Micron), a wholly owned subsidiary of Micron Technology, Inc., proposes to construct and operate a semiconductor manufacturing facility with four semiconductor fabrication buildings (“fabs”) on an approximately 1,377-acre site consisting primarily of the White Pine Commerce Park (WPCP), principally located at 5171 Route 31, Town of Clay, New York. In total, the Proposed Project would consist of: construction of the Micron Campus at the WPCP, including the four fabs, ancillary support facilities, ingress and egress roads, driveways, and parking; construction of a rail spur and construction material conveyance facility to support construction of the Micron Campus (Rail Spur Site); construction of a childcare center, healthcare center, and recreational center (Childcare Site); and leasing of existing warehouse space in an industrially zoned area at a location to be determined within 20 miles of the Micron Campus (Warehouse Site). The Proposed Project also will require utility and infrastructure improvements to meet its electricity, natural gas, water supply, wastewater, and telecommunications needs (Connected Actions).
The project is located at 5171 Route 31 in the Town of Clay, New York
