Upstate NY is one of the fastest growing semiconductor manufacturing regions in the country, with existing foundries already in operation and new operations like Micron's massive memory fabrication campus under construction outside of Syracuse. By 2030 an estimated 25% of US-made chips will be from the region for a simple reason: water.
