Micron’s $100 Billion Investment Is Transforming Central New York

Micron’s planned investment of up to $100 billion in Central New York is reshaping the region’s advanced manufacturing landscape and creating significant demand for a skilled workforce.

The project in Clay, New York, is expected to create approximately 9,000 direct Micron jobs as well as more than 40,000 additional jobs across the broader community, including supplier, contractor, and other supporting roles.

The scale of the project is also driving investment in workforce development, infrastructure, education, and community initiatives. For organizations such as ON-RAMP, this growth creates an important opportunity to connect Central New Yorkers with the skills and training needed to pursue careers in the region’s expanding advanced manufacturing economy.

Micron officially broke ground on its New York megafab in January 2026, marking a transition from long-term planning to construction of the project.
