SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) says it’s planning to open an office inside One Lincoln Center at 110 W. Fayette St. in downtown Syracuse.
Besides the office, the company will also add its name to the façade of One Lincoln Center, a prominent office building in the downtown area.
The Boise, Idaho–based chip maker is preparing to build a massive semiconductor campus along Route 31 in the town of Clay.
The planned office space will help house local procurement and facilities-construction teams, along with operations, government and public affairs, and people employees in the years ahead, Scott Gatzemeier, Micron’s corporate VP front end U.S. expansion, said in a blog post on the firm’s website.
Micron’s office will also include a street-level space for a community welcome and recruitment center, Gatzemeier said. That space will serve as the hub for people from across the region to drop in to learn more about the project and to access recruiting resources as the company builds up its local workforce, per the company.
Gatzemeier went on to say that the interior spaces at One Lincoln Center will be designed and outfitted to fit the company’s needs. Micron says it will work with E. Smith Contractors, a local Black-owned business who “shares our commitment” to partnering with New York Minority, Women and Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (MWVBEs) as a part of its expansion efforts in New York.
The company also says it’ll release more information on an official opening as the space gets move-in-ready ahead of next year.
In a statement, Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh said he’s “honored and excited” to welcome Micron to downtown Syracuse.
“Having members of the Micron team downtown every day will add energy to the center of our city and be a point of pride for all of Syracuse and Onondaga County,” Walsh said. “The company’s decision reflects downtown Syracuse’s important role as the center of growth for our region and the many attractions that make it a great place to live, work and play. I thank Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra and the entire Micron team for choosing downtown Syracuse and for continuing the momentum on their transformational mega fab semiconductor plant in our community.”
In a separate statement, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer also reacted to Micron’s announcement.
“Micron will be at the very heart of Syracuse’s renaissance downtown. When I wrote my CHIPS & Science Law it is days like this I envisioned, with new companies locating manufacturing and management Upstate,” Schumer said. “With Micron beaming atop Syracuse’s One Lincoln Center, it is becoming clearer by the day that the sky is the limit for growth in Central NY, and Syracuse’s future will shine brightly for all to see.”

HAMILTON, N.Y. — Colgate University and the Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College have formed a new institutional partnership that gives Colgate students access to the Tuck Business Bridge Program, according to an announcement from Colgate.
This winter, Colgate sophomores and juniors interested in exploring business careers will have the opportunity to connect their liberal-arts experience with intensive business-school training provided by Tuck faculty members.
Students accepted into the program will spend three weeks during winter break learning from Tuck faculty and current MBA students who will serve as resources. The experience kicks off with a week of remote learning from home before moving to a hybrid classroom at Colgate’s campus in Hamilton.
Students will be assigned to teams to deliver an in-person capstone case-study presentation evaluated by Colgate alumni.
“We are excited to partner with Tuck on this new initiative for our students,” Colgate President Brian W. Casey said in a news release. “For those students who want an introduction to key business and finance concepts and wish to gain skills for the marketplace, this January program will offer them a rigorous and meaningful program.”
He continued, “I am also thrilled that alumni support will provide the funds to help make this program accessible to at least 10 Colgate students who are receiving financial aid.”
After completing the program, sophomore participants will join Career Services’ annual SophoMORE Connections event beginning on Jan. 17, 2025.
Applications for the program are now open and due through Sept. 30. An on-campus information session is set for Sept. 11. More information about the program is available at colgate.edu/tuckbridge.
