President Joe Biden addressed an invitation-only crowd at Onondaga Community College’s SRC Arena on Oct. 27.
Celebrates Micron announcement By Ashley M. Casey Associate Editor President Joe Biden returned to his former stomping grounds of Syracuse last week to celebrate the announcement that Micron Technology will invest $100 billion in a semiconductor manufacturing facility in the town of Clay. Biden, a 1968 graduate of the Syracuse University College of
Law, delivered remarks Oct. 27 at Onondaga Community College. “It’s good to be in a place that means so, so much to me and that means so much to our country with the project we’re here to celebrate today,” Biden said. Micron announced Oct. 4 that it plans to build four semiconductor chip fabs over the course of 20 years at the White Pine Commerce Park in Clay. In his law school days, Biden recalled, Central New York was the
“heartland of manufacturing” with thriving companies such as Kodak, Corning and General Electric. Biden commended New York State Gov. Kathy Hochul and Sen. Chuck Schumer for their vision of restoring New York to its former industrial glory. “The governor has always believed it could be that way again. She thought that would be the case, and the region is poised to lead the world in advanced manufacturing,” Biden Biden l Page 16
