NY SMART I-Corridor: Proven Impact, Powerful Possibility
Since July 2024, the NY SMART I-Corridor federally designed Tech Hub has delivered more than $2.5 million in direct business and training resources, supported $260 million in new public and private investment, and contributed to the creation of 175 new jobs. With Micron now in vertical construction, suppliers expanding across Upstate New York, and demand continuing to grow, now is the time to explore the opportunities available to your business.
This is not speculation. It is proven impact of strategic alignment.
The investments being made here are significant, and deserve the be celebrated. They are creating real opportunities for real businesses – and the impact is tangible and significant. Billions of dollars are flowing into our economy – in semiconductor businesses directly, and in many other sectors of industry, such as advanced manufacturing, automation, precision machining, software, engineering, logistics, construction, testing and measurement, workforce services, advanced packaging, and many other capabilities. This is creating widespread possibility and progress.
Partnership at work, with room to grow.
Perhaps equally as significant as the investments being made is the work that got us here. These investments are the direct outcome of what happens when individuals and companies come together in support of a better tomorrow. When Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse align on common goals, big things happen. The results of our shared, strategic alignment to advocate for Upstate New York at the local, state, and federal levels is already yielding significant legislative and political wins. And when companies, training providers, and a growing workforce come together, we’re creating a comprehensive system to grow people and businesses together.
