Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On August 1, 2022, after years of staunch advocacy, multiple visits with Commerce Department leaders to show how the Capital Region is leading the nation in semiconductor research, and now with the his historic bipartisan CHIPS & Science Bill passed through Congress, Senator Schumer doubled down on his push to make Albany Nanotech the major hub of the nation’s first National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC). Schumer highlighted how his bipartisan bill has already spurred local companies like GlobalFoundries to invest and add thousands of good-paying local jobs. Now with his bill set to become law in the coming days, Schumer is making the final push for Albany Nanotech to be selected for millions in federal investment to bolster the nation’s chip R&D, potentially create over a thousand local jobs, and keep the nation at the cutting-edge of innovation and manufacturing in the chip industry.
