Gov. Kathy Hochul highlighted Syracuse and Micron Technology’s memory chip fabrication plant during a primetime speech Monday at the Democratic National convention in Chicago.

“Look no further than the city of Syracuse, New York, where a company called Micron is building a $100 billion microchip factory with union labor,” Hochul said to the crowd. “It’s the largest private investment in American history and it’s going to create 50,000 good-paying jobs.”
