Syracuse, NY: President Biden’s Speech on Micron Project Funding
Money was the central theme of President Joe Biden’s speech today, bringing smiles to both Republicans and Democrats as the final piece of the puzzle fell into place for the Micron project in Clay.
“This is a significant development,” President Biden remarked with a smile during his address.
Last week, an initial agreement was announced to provide $6.1 billion in direct funding to Micron from the CHIPS and Science Act. This funding will be split between Micron’s Boise, Idaho location and the planned four microchip fabrication sites in Clay, with the specific amounts remaining undisclosed, according to CEO Sanjay Mehrotra.
“In my over 40 years in this industry, I have never seen a more thrilling moment for the semiconductor sector,” Mehrotra expressed.
Funding Breakdown and Milestones
The funding will be released in stages, tied to specific project milestones, as outlined by President Biden’s Director of Science and Technology Policy, Arati Prabhakar. Additionally, there is approximately $7 billion in federal loans, along with $5.5 billion from New York State and significant tax incentives at the local level.
“Micron is investing substantial private capital, and this collaboration aims to align all resources for the success of this endeavor,” Prabhakar explained.
Bipartisan Support and Economic Impact
President Biden praised the efforts of not only Democratic leaders Governor Kathy Hochul and Senator Chuck Schumer but also Republican Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon. During his visit to Syracuse, President Biden engaged with these officials, acknowledging the challenges faced by county governments.
At the MOST, President Biden engaged in a private discussion with Micron leaders, where Mehrotra revealed that the federal grant would result in the creation of 50 thousand direct and indirect jobs. President Biden expressed his enthusiasm for Micron’s significant contribution to Central New York.
Former Congressman John Katko echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the economic benefits and national security implications of the Micron project.
Political Dynamics and Opposition
Despite bipartisan support, some opposition was noted, with Rep. Elise Stefanik and Rep. Claudia Tenney voting against the legislation that facilitated the Micron project. President Biden highlighted the differing perspectives within the political landscape, emphasizing the importance of unity in critical decisions.
Looking ahead, Micron’s $100 billion investment underscores their confidence in the industry’s future, particularly with advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Future Plans and Infrastructure
Significant steps are underway to materialize the four fabs in Clay, each larger than 40 football fields. Environmental reviews and infrastructure enhancements are in progress, with construction plans set to be finalized for a busy 2025.
The Biden Administration is establishing a Workforce Hub to address the training needs of the semiconductor industry, ensuring equitable access to job opportunities and necessary skills for workers in the region.
Dr. Warren Hilton of Onondaga Community College emphasized the tangible impact of the $6.1 billion funding, underscoring the reality of the Micron project.

This project, which is being promoted in conjunction with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, is a measure to encourage citizens to save on transport costs and use public transport in a time of high oil prices and high inflation.
K-Pass is a system that accumulates a certain percentage of the amount used regardless of the distance travelled. Therefore, it has the advantage of being easier, more convenient, and available throughout the country. The accrual rate is also higher than the current economic transport card rate, resulting in greater transport cost savings.
The K-Pass Card is a transport card that saves a certain percentage of the amount spent (20% for general people, 30% for young people, 53% for low income people) when you use transport public more than 15 times and up. to 60 times a month and return it to you next month.
Based on the city bus ticket (a regular card ticket of 1,500 won), 300 won for the public, 450 won for young people, and 800 can be accumulated and refunded for low-income people dedicated card. In this case, the general public can repay up to 216,000 won a year, young people can repay up to 324,000 won, and low-income people can repay up to 576,000 won.
As the current economic transport card service will end on the 30th, in order for existing subscribers to continue receiving refund benefits, they must convert to K-Pass on the economic transport card website by June 30. If you used without conversion, no refund will be given.
K-Pass Card can be used as prepaid and postpaid cards. Detailed subscription instructions can be found on the K-Pass website after issuing the desired card.
Daegu City plans to secure a total of 5.3 billion won in project expenses, including the first supplementary budget, to support K-Pass. In addition, we intend to continue securing the budget to ease the burden of public transport prices on citizens.
Kim Dae-young, director of the Daegu City Transportation Bureau, said, “Since many citizens are facing transportation costs in this era of high oil rates and inflation, we hope that many people will participate so that they can save transportation costs by using the newly introduced K-Pass card.”
