SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) says it’s planning to open an office inside One Lincoln Center at 110 W. Fayette St. in downtown Syracuse.
Besides the office, the company will also add its name to the façade of One Lincoln Center, a prominent office building in the downtown area.
The Boise, Idaho–based chip maker is preparing to build a massive semiconductor campus along Route 31 in the town of Clay.
The planned office space will help house local procurement and facilities-construction teams, along with operations, government and public affairs, and people employees in the years ahead, Scott Gatzemeier, Micron’s corporate VP front end U.S. expansion, said in a blog post on the firm’s website.
Micron’s office will also include a street-level space for a community welcome and recruitment center, Gatzemeier said. That space will serve as the hub for people from across the region to drop in to learn more about the project and to access recruiting resources as the company builds up its local workforce, per the company.
Gatzemeier went on to say that the interior spaces at One Lincoln Center will be designed and outfitted to fit the company’s needs. Micron says it will work with E. Smith Contractors, a local Black-owned business who “shares our commitment” to partnering with New York Minority, Women and Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (MWVBEs) as a part of its expansion efforts in New York.
The company also says it’ll release more information on an official opening as the space gets move-in-ready ahead of next year.
In a statement, Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh said he’s “honored and excited” to welcome Micron to downtown Syracuse.
“Having members of the Micron team downtown every day will add energy to the center of our city and be a point of pride for all of Syracuse and Onondaga County,” Walsh said. “The company’s decision reflects downtown Syracuse’s important role as the center of growth for our region and the many attractions that make it a great place to live, work and play. I thank Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra and the entire Micron team for choosing downtown Syracuse and for continuing the momentum on their transformational mega fab semiconductor plant in our community.”
In a separate statement, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer also reacted to Micron’s announcement.
“Micron will be at the very heart of Syracuse’s renaissance downtown. When I wrote my CHIPS & Science Law it is days like this I envisioned, with new companies locating manufacturing and management Upstate,” Schumer said. “With Micron beaming atop Syracuse’s One Lincoln Center, it is becoming clearer by the day that the sky is the limit for growth in Central NY, and Syracuse’s future will shine brightly for all to see.”
