SIA Applauds Announcement of CHIPS Act Incentives for Micron Projects
December 11, 2024 | SIAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) released the following statement from SIA President and CEO John Neuffer applauding the U.S. Department of Commerce and Micron for finalizing semiconductor manufacturing incentives for new projects in Boise, Idaho and Clay, New York, as well as announcing new incentives for Micron’s planned expansion in Manassas, Virginia.
The final incentives, part of the CHIPS and Science Act, solidify support for Micron’s memory chip production facilities in Idaho and New York. Additionally, the Commerce Department announced $275 million in preliminary incentives to expand Micron’s manufacturing facility in Manassas, Virginia, further accelerating semiconductor manufacturing capabilities in the U.S.
“These critical incentives underscore the transformative impact of the CHIPS and Science Act in driving domestic semiconductor production and innovation to ultimately enhance supply chain resilience and American competitiveness,” said Neuffer. “Memory is a technology critical to America’s economic future and national security, and Micron’s historic investments in producing memory chips in the U.S. will strengthen U.S. leadership for the long term. We commend Micron for its forward-looking investments in Idaho, New York, and Virginia, and we applaud the Department of Commerce for its steadfast commitment to strengthening America’s leadership in chip manufacturing. Together, these efforts will create high-paying American jobs, bolster U.S. national and economic security, and fuel innovation for years to come.”
The CHIPS Act has spurred significant investments across the domestic semiconductor industry, with more than 90 new projects announced in 28 U.S. states since its introduction, totaling hundreds of billions in private investments. These projects are expected to generate over 58,000 jobs directly within the semiconductor ecosystem and support hundreds of thousands of additional jobs throughout the U.S. economy.
The finalized incentives for Idaho and New York build upon a preliminary agreement announced in April 2024, while the new agreement for the Manassas expansion represents a pivotal step in advancing U.S. semiconductor manufacturing capacity.
