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.

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…
