I\u2019m thrilled that GlobalFoundries has finalized and fully secured up to $375 million in federal investment to support a brand-new quantum business in the Capital Region, made possible by the billions in federal R&D funds I included in my CHIPS and Science Law,\u201d said Senator Schumer. \u201cThis investment will strengthen America\u2019s domestic manufacturing base and make sure the technologies that define our future are built right here in the Capital Region. Upstate New York\u2019s manufacturing once powered the world, and I\u2019ll keep fighting to make sure we can do it again and outcompete China.\u201d\n\nSchumer said this funding, made possible by his CHIPS & Science Law, will help expand America\u2019s domestic manufacturing capacity for large-scale quantum computers.\n\nGlobalFoundries is also a key partner of a second CHIPS R&D award finalized this week, an award of up to $100 million to Quantinuum, which will lead to further federal investment and jobs in the Capital Region. This is a partnership that Schumer has helped facilitate as part of this CHIPS investment.\n\nAdditionally, GlobalFoundries has been a long-time partner and manufacturer for PsiQuantum, which has also finalized an award this week of up to $100 million from the CHIPS R&D program. Schumer has long been a supporter of PsiQuantum\u2019s work with GlobalFoundries, delivering $25 million in federal funding in 2022 to expand research and development spearheaded out of the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, New York, to manufacture and test photonic quantum computing technology. GlobalFoundries is a leading producer of chips that are critical across industries, from mobile phones and artificial intelligence to automobiles and defense technologies.\n\nGlobalFoundries\u2019 chips are also critical to the development of quantum technologies, which are critical to American leadership in global innovation. Schumer has long supported GlobalFoundries\u2019 growth in the Capital Region, delivering a CHIPS award of up to $1.5 billion in direct funding through the bipartisan CHIPS & Science Law he initiated and successfully passed into law. The funding is supporting the expansion of GlobalFoundries\u2019 existing fab in Malta, NY, and the construction of a second, state-of-the-art fab at the same site, in addition to the modernization of the company\u2019s current facility in VT, all of which will create thousands of new, good-paying manufacturing and construction jobs. GlobalFoundries then secured an additional $75 million in CHIPS funding to make a $3 billion investment to create a first-of-its-kind advanced chip packaging facility at its Saratoga County location, thanks to Schumer\u2019s CHIPS & Science Law.\n\nThanks to Schumer\u2019s CHIPS & Science Law, Upstate New York has seen a major revival in tech manufacturing. In addition to massive federal funding for GlobalFoundries to grow in the Capitol Region, Micron has broken ground for a historic $100+ billion investment to build a cutting-edge memory fab in Central New York with the support of an over $6 billion CHIPS agreement. Corning Incorporated finalized a $32 million agreement to make a $315 million investment that would increase production at its Canton facility of specialized glass vital for the semiconductor industry. Edwards Vacuum is nearing completion of a new first-of-its-kind-in-the-country $300+ million dry pump manufacturing facility, supported by an $18 million CHIPS funding award. TTM Technologies, a printed circuit board manufacturer, plans to invest up to $130 million to expand its facilities in Onondaga County, creating up to 400 good-paying jobs, supported by $30 million in federal investment that Schumer delivered. Menlo Micro will invest $150 million to build its microchip switch manufacturing facility in Tompkins County, creating over 100 new, good-paying jobs.\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-11T09:25:29Z", "2026-09-11T09:27:08Z"]], "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://www.schumer.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/schumer-applauds-finalized-375-million-award-from-his-chips-and-science-law-for-globalfoundries-to-launch-new-quantum-business"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3466270174831152, "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"}
