WASHINGTON – The federal government has agreed to provide Micron Technology a $6.1 billion grant to build a massive complex of computer chip plants in Syracuse’s northern suburbs, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer and a senior Biden administration official told syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.
Some of the federal money would also support a chips plant expansion at Micron’s headquarters in Boise, Idaho, as part of the preliminary, non-binding deal with the U.S. Department of Commerce, Schumer said Wednesday night.
