On December 11, 2023, building on years of advocacy to elevate Upstate NY and Albany NanoTech as a global center for semiconductor research and manufacturing, Senator Schumer announced, alongside Governor Hochul, a $10 billion public-private partnership with leaders from the semiconductor industry including IBM, Micron, and others to bring a major new expansion with investment in the world’s most cutting-edge semiconductor machinery to the Albany NanoTech Complex. Schumer said that the partnership will further propel Albany NanoTech as the premier global center for semiconductor research, and now as we enter the homestretch he is going all out to land the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) that was established in his CHIPS & Science Act in the Capital Region.
