CLAY, N.Y. — Micron and local investors are making moves to buy property around the White Pine site in Clay, where Micron plans to build its semi-conductor plant, local leaders call it a promising step.

Micron has now bought a one-acre parcel of land in the Town of Clay right next to the space of the proposed chip plant.

This comes as a positive sign for those who had concerns if Micron would actually come to town.

Rob Simpson, President of CenterState CEO, a local business development group, said, “When any project is announced there’s a healthy level of skepticism about how real it is but I give Micron a lot of credit they’ve been on the ground here on Central New York on the ground here since October of last year.”
....

According to Simpson, the next things the community needs to focus on are increasing housing availability and uplifting the community with job opportunities.

The public will have the chance to weigh in on the White Pine Commerce Park project at a special town board meeting on Wednesday, June 7 at Liverpool High School at 5:30 p.m.
