SYRACUSE, NY – Robert M. Simpson, president of CenterState CEO, in Syracuse, issued the below statement following the passage of CHIPS for America Act and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) in the U.S. Senate.
“CenterState CEO applauds members of the U.S. Senate for passing the CHIPS for America Act and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC). It is especially important to acknowledge the work of U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer for his unwavering leadership and determination to ensure the CHIPS for America legislation was passed.
This is an important step forward, as these are two critical tools that CenterState CEO has vocally advocated for to increase our global competitiveness in the semiconductor industry. Reshoring American production of these devices will enable an unprecedented opportunity to create jobs and economic prosperity in our country and community.
Both pieces of legislation now go to the House of Representatives for a vote where it will receive support from the bill's co-sponsor, Representative John Katko. In this critical moment, we call on Congress vote to approve CHIPS and ITC.”
