CLAY. N.Y. — Micron’s planned semiconductor manufacturing campus in Clay reached another major milestone Wednesday with the announcement that Bechtel has been selected to lead the next phase of construction.
Micron said Bechtel will serve as the engineering, procurement and construction partner for the first phase of its memory manufacturing complex at White Pine Commerce Park in Onondaga County.
The announcement marks a significant step forward for a project expected to become the largest semiconductor manufacturing facility in the United States.
Micron said Bechtel will mobilize immediately at the Clay site as construction moves into its next phase.
In a statement, Micron Executive Vice President of Global Operations Manish Bhatia called the development “an exciting new phase of construction.”
“Our New York project will be home to the most advanced memory manufacturing in the world and will serve as a cornerstone of America’s leadership in the AI era,” Bhatia said.
The project is expected to create more than 4,500 construction jobs and support an estimated 50,000 jobs across New York over the next two decades through direct employment, construction work and supply chain opportunities.
