CenterState CEO's senior vice president of Inclusive Growth Nora Spillane joined JoDee Kenney for the Spectrum News 1's In Focus program. Spillane discussed CenterState CEO's efforts to grow and expand businesses across upstate New York and the latest on the Micron project. 

"They're buying land. They're pursuing the child care center that they want to put next to the facility. They're opening an office and a welcome center. They want to really embrace this community and be a presence in downtown and across the region," said Spillane. "This build is going to be continuous. It's truly going to be remarkable, the size and scale of what that's going to mean not only out in Clay but the reverberations across the community."
