CHIPS and Science Act funding is critical to helping overcome the economic hurdles associated with repatriating semiconductor manufacturing to the U.S. The Member\u2019s concurred that CHIPS funding in support of Micron\u2019s once-in-a-generation investments in U.S. manufacturing and workforce development, will pave the way for U.S. technological and manufacturing leadership into the twenty-first century, and lead to a more prosperous, secure, and innovative America.\n\n\u201cMicron\u2019s planned manufacturing investments in New York will revitalize American manufacturing, create thousands of new jobs, and lead to the hiring of more than 1,500 veterans over the next decade. That\u2019s a win-win-win,\u201d said Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17). \u201cI\u2019m proud to join more than 20 colleagues on this bipartisan letter in support of Micron\u2019s applications for federal CHIPS and Science Act funding. This is a worthy investment that will pay dividends for New York and for our nation.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe CHIPS and Science Act was a significant victory in bringing back American manufacturing and one of the largest investments has made it possible for Micron Technology to come to NY-22. Bringing jobs and prosperity to Central New York and Mohawk Valley families, while enhancing our national security,\u201d said Congressman Brandon Williams (NY-22). \u201cThis bipartisan letter proves that Central New York is the new \u201cSilicon Empire\u201d\u2014bringing strategic and long-term investment back to our region and signaling that it\u2019s time for our families and friends to come back home, the jobs are on their way.\u201d\n\n\u201cContinued investment in our high-tech industries is critical to ensuring our country\u2019s long-term workforce development and economic competitiveness\u2014and nowhere is better poised to spearhead these leading-edge innovations than right here in Upstate New York,\u201d said Congressman Joe Morelle (NY-25). \u201cI\u2019m proud to join a bipartisan group of colleagues from New York State and call on the U.S. Department of Commerce to support Micron\u2019s application for federal funding under the CHIPS and Science Act. This project has unlimited potential for our region\u2014and with this funding, I know they\u2019ll only be able to accomplish more for our community, our workforce, and our entire country.\u201d\n\n\"Micron\u2019s transformational investment in Upstate New York has the potential to create spin off businesses throughout the region, good paying job opportunities, and a level of prosperity that hasn\u2019t been seen in this part of the country in decades,\u201d said Congressman Marc Molinaro (NY-19). \u201cWe fully support Micron\u2019s CHIPS funding application and will do everything in our power to make sure this project is a success.\"\n\n\u201cOur nation\u2019s leadership in semiconductor development is a critical part of a strong, secure, and efficient economy,\u201d said Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26). \u201cMicron has made a long-term commitment to Upstate New York that will support thousands of sustainable, good-paying jobs in advanced manufacturing, as well as research and development. Federal funding provided for these planned projects is not only an investment in a competitive and prosperous future for our country, but also the workforces and communities that will support them. I am proud to join my colleagues across New York State in supporting Micron\u2019s application for grant funding included in the historic CHIPS and Science Act.\u201d\n\nView or download the letter, here.\n\nNew York's 17th Congressional District is just north of New York City and contains all or parts of Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester Counties.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://lawler.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1101"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9625870734453201, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
