Overview
- Micron projects Fab 1 to start production in 2030 and Fab 2 in 2033 after a two- to three-year delay.
- Site work begins now with Gilbane clearing 445 acres, importing millions of cubic yards of fill, and pausing tree cutting from Mar. 31 to Nov. 1 to protect endangered bats.
- Meeting the complex’s needs will require power use exceeding New Hampshire and Vermont combined and up to 48 million gallons of water per day if all four fabs are built.
- Onondaga County plans an industrial wastewater plant estimated at $1.4 billion or more, with officials saying Micron will pay through user fees, alongside OCWA and National Grid upgrades.
- The first two fabs have access to roughly $25 billion in public incentives; Micron forecasts 9,000 onsite jobs and up to 40,000 spinoff positions and has outlined a $500 million community fund including $250 million for workforce, housing and transportation.
