Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On October 20, 2022, standing at SUNY Poly’s Center for Global Advanced Manufacturing, and on the heels of delivering Micron to Central New York, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer doubled down on his efforts to bring a second semiconductor manufacturer to the Marcy Nanocenter. Schumer says adding Micron to New York’s growing semiconductor corridor that includes Wolfspeed and Globalfoundries supercharges the Marcy Nanocenter’s chances of landing a second tenant and that multiple companies are expressing interest.
Schumer, New York State, and local officials are already in talks with multiple semiconductor companies interested in the Marcy Nanocenter because of the federal incentives for microchip manufacturing, the state’s growing microchip industry, as well as the region’s access to cheap power and water, and its shovel-ready advanced infrastructure.
