en.Wedoany.com Reported - Micron Technology has selected Bechtel to provide engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for Phase One of its multi-billion-dollar semiconductor manufacturing complex in Clay, New York. Micron stated that the site at White Pine Commerce Park in Onondaga County aims to become the largest semiconductor manufacturing facility in the United States.
Micron initiated preliminary work on the manufacturing facility in January 2026 and is now advancing to a more sophisticated construction phase with Bechtel's involvement. Bechtel is preparing for immediate on-site mobilization and will rapidly expand its workforce to support project construction. According to the two companies, this project represents the largest private investment in New York State history.
Once completed, the project is expected to generate approximately $16.7 billion in annual real economic output for New York State and provide about $5.4 billion in annual personal income for local residents over the next 30 years. The memory manufacturing complex will also create 50,000 jobs in New York State, including over 4,500 construction positions. Project leaders anticipate that the construction peak will support thousands of additional skilled jobs, benefiting union trades, apprenticeships, local training programs, contractors, suppliers, and other construction professionals.
Micron and Bechtel plan to conduct community engagement activities while forming the project team and supply chain network to strengthen local supply chains and industry workforce capabilities. Micron's broader plans in the state include the potential construction of up to four manufacturing facilities over the next 20 years. Manish Bhatia, Executive Vice President of Global Operations at Micron Technology, stated that as the only U.S. memory manufacturer, the company understands that projects of this scale and complexity can only be realized through the power of partnerships, and is pleased to collaborate with Bechtel to unleash its full global capabilities, technical expertise, and world-class team to bring this facility to life. Craig Albert, President and Chief Operating Officer of Bechtel, believes that this project is not just about building a semiconductor manufacturing campus, but part of the foundation for America's industrial future.
These investments are expected to qualify for the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit. Additionally, Micron has secured further support at the federal, state, and local levels, including up to $6.4 billion in funding under the CHIPS Act for facilities in Idaho, New York, and Virginia, as well as up to $5.5 billion in incentives from New York State through the GREEN CHIPS program.
