Empire State Development & State Priorities
- ESD is spearheading Governor Cuomo’s Upstate New York High Technology Investment Strategy, including semiconductor and advanced electronics initiatives at SUNY Polytechnic Institute & the Marcy Nanocenter
- MV EDGE oversees large regional transformational projects such as redevelopment of the former Griffiss Air Force Base (now Griffiss Business and Technology Park) and is the designated lead developer for Marcy Nanocenter Project (MNC) and responsible for securing Wolfspeed as a tenant on the site
- New York State has proved to be flexible and creative when proposing incentive packages, including capital grants to reduce capital costs for the design, construction, furnishing and tooling for the semiconductor industry and other high technology investments
Regional Workforce & Expanding Talent Pipeline
“The Marcy site offered the company the ‘trifecta’ of advantages” Lowe said… We need to have a strong set of universities and community colleges in the area from which to draw our workforce,” Gregg Lowe, Cree | Wolfspeed CEO said. “Having incentives and a Greenfield opportunity without having the access to a talented workforce is a nonstarter.”
- Ability to leverage the SUNY system’s 64 institutions, including research universities, academic medical centers, liberal arts colleges, community colleges, colleges of technology, and an online learning network
- P-TECH model mirrors STEM-focused work-based learning programs implemented in Brooklyn with the goal to scale program statewide
- SUNY Poly has a partnership with Fort Drum Transition Assistance Program (TAP) for soon-to-be-separated Veterans NEATEC
Local Community Support
- The Marcy Nanocenter enjoys broad support from the local community, Town of Marcy, and Oneida County
