State Senator Patricia Fahy said, “Today marks another milestone in the Capital Region’s road to becoming the capital of the nation’s semiconductor research. As we continue progress on the Albany Nanotech Complex’s groundbreaking High NA EUV Lithography Center and near completion, the benefits to our communities will be immense. The creation of high-paying jobs, both high-skilled and non-college, economic multiplier effects for surrounding businesses and neighborhoods, and investments in our local STEM and scientific research fields will pay dividends for years to come. Thanks to the strong investments made by both Governor Kathy Hochul, SUNY, and the State Legislature, Albany and our Capital Region are national leaders on the frontier of nanotechnology and semiconductor research, leading breakthrough after breakthrough, and I’m excited to see the work and success ahead.”
Assemblymember John T. McDonald III, RPh said, “Today we celebrate an incredible milestone for the NanoFab Reflection and the greater NY Creates Albany NanoTech Complex. New York continues to invest in the future of the semiconductor industry and continues to cement New York’s place as a leader in the industry with a home here in the Capital Region. Thank you to Governor Hochul, NY Creates, and all the partners who continue to prioritize these efforts.”
Assemblymember Gabriella Romero said, “Today’s topping out of NY Creates’ $1 billion NanoFab Reflection marks more than a construction milestone – it represents New York’s unwavering commitment to leading the world in semiconductor innovation. Exciting investments like this bring cutting-edge research, high-quality jobs, and long-term economic growth to our region. With this new High NA EUV Lithography Center, New York isn’t just preparing for the future of technology – we are building it right here in Albany.”
City of Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan said, “Thank you to Governor Kathy Hochul for working relentlessly to secure a nation-leading level of investment in the semiconductor technology sector. This topping out is yet another tremendous milestone for the City of Albany, the Capital Region, and the State of New York — helping to create world-class, good paying jobs in an industry of the future. The continued commitment at NY Creates is solidifying Albany’s legacy in developing cutting edge innovations, and will ensure our global leadership in semiconductor chip research and development for years to come.”
