Micron Project Update: Bechtel, Local Hiring, and Major Investments Coming to Central New York Host Matt Masur interviews Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon about major developments tied to Micron at White Pine Business Park in Clay, including preparation for foundation pours and a roughly $1B initial construction contract leading to vertical construction. McMahon highlights Bechtel as the phase-one builder for two fabs and describes local labor requirements and the project labor agreement prioritizing hiring through union halls before bringing in outside workers, alongside regional training efforts. He also notes major wastewater infrastructure investments, including an industrial project won by Kiewit, and addresses that CHIPS-related benefits are performance-based and tied to job creation. Additional updates include Clay’s $30M community host agreement with Micron, Micron’s $250-per-child boost to federal “Trump Accounts,” TTM Technologies’ expansion, and broader regional momentum in high-tech manufacturing and supply-chain recruitment. 00:00 Construction Oversight Plan 00:23 Welcome to Good News York 01:21 Micron Build Begins 04:20 Local Hiring Commitments 06:47 Tax Incentives Explained 08:52 Clay Host Agreement 12:21 Kids Savings Boost 15:40 Beyond Micron Growth 19:11 Investing in Future Sites 22:04 Wrap Up and Next Steps
