National Grid New York President Rudolph Wynter issued the following statement today regarding Micron's announcement to build a semiconductor manufacturing plant in suburban Syracuse, N.Y.:

The vision, leadership and tireless efforts of Gov. Kathy Hochul, Sen. Charles Schumer and Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon translated into a generational investment in the Central New York economy by Micron.

National Grid has supported efforts to develop the White Pine Commerce Park for decades and our work has intensified in recent years. Investments we made in nearby electric and natural gas assets helped make it a potentially attractive site. That potential was realized in today's announcement, and we look forward to the monumental impact that this will have on our community. We are very pleased to welcome Micron to central New York.
