CLAY, N.Y. — The Micron project in Central New York is advancing with the New York State Public Service Commission’s approval of National Grid’s plan for a new transmission line in the Town of Clay.<\/p>\n

The two-mile, 345-kilovolt underground transmission service line will connect an existing substation to Micron’s proposed fabrication areas.<\/p>\n

Gov. Kathy Hochul said that the PSC decision “marks a major milestone for the development of the Micron project in upstate New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PSC also approved National Grid’s environmental and construction plans, addressing public complaints and environmental concerns.<\/p>\n

This decision is part of a broader partnership between Micron and New York State, initiated in October 2022, to establish a semiconductor megafab in Central New York.<\/p>\n

Micron’s $100 billion investment is the largest private investment in New York’s history, according to the governor’s office, promising over 50,000 jobs in the next 30 years.<\/p>\n

The proposed Micron semiconductor chip fab plant is about an hour away from Herkimer, but it was among the main topics during an economic forum for Herkimer County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CLAY, N.Y. — The Micron project in Central New York is advancing with the New York State Public…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5762,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1880,5385,1984,5383,5387,4760,9,11,10,49,51,50,5384,5386,5298],"class_list":["post-5761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-central-new-york","tag-clay","tag-hochul","tag-micron","tag-micron-project","tag-national-grid","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-syracuse","tag-town-of-clay","tag-transmission-line"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
