Rumor: AMD considering plant site in upstate New York
State leaders and semiconductor maker Advanced Micro Devices are in discussions to build a $3.5 billion chip manufacturing plant that could bring 2,000 permanent jobs to upstate New York, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said Tuesday. Good news for the United States as more jobs are staying here and also New York for getting 2,000 high tech job positions.
AMD, based in Sunnyvale, is considering two possible locations for the plant: One in a technology park about 25 miles north of Albany and the other on an 800-acre site in the central New York town of Marcy the state purchased 25 years ago.“They have narrowed their search to New York,” Silver said. “These are the two sites.” Silver met with representatives of AMD to discuss terms of an agreement
I won’t hold my breath…. One can only wonder what tax incentitives they are being given if they do come to NY.. Where are the jobs for Erie County? I should call Hillary, well it’s a thought………. nah…..

No wonder they’re coming. They will stay as long as their deal lasts and then take off as all the others do.
