Micron’s $250 Billion Semiconductor Plant: Trump Highlights Historic Investment in U.S. Manufacturing – News and Statistics

Jul 11, 2026

Liz Claman delivered a live report from Clay, New York, where Micron is developing a memory chip fabrication facility with a price tag of $250 billion.

On Friday, President Donald Trump promoted Micron Technology‘s intention to allocate $250 billion toward U.S. semiconductor production, which the firm claims will become the biggest chip manufacturing site ever built in the country.

The enterprise headquartered in Boise, Idaho, revealed on Thursday that it is speeding up its domestic manufacturing and research expenditures, targeting 40% of its DRAM memory chip output to occur within the United States.

Trump posted on Truth Social that the move exemplifies what he called the Trump Effect, asserting that his administration is cutting regulations and reviving American industry after years of obstruction by prior Democratic leadership.

Micron anticipates spending over $250 billion by 2035, fueled by rising need for memory chips amid the artificial intelligence boom. The company noted that erecting the New York plant will demand thousands of skilled laborers, offering roles for union members, apprentices, graduates of local training initiatives, specialized contractors, and suppliers.

The project achieved its initial concrete placement at the Clay, New York, location on Thursday. Micron described it as the most substantial private investment in New York state history, projected to generate 50,000 jobs across the state, including 9,000 positions directly with Micron.

Micron further stated that its semiconductor operations in Idaho and Virginia, together with the New York endeavor, are anticipated to sustain an extra 90,000 jobs while bolstering U.S. economic and national security interests.

Trump also pointed to remarks from Micron President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, who indicated the company is raising its planned U.S. manufacturing and research outlay from $200 billion to $250 billion. Mehrotra explained that due to Trump’s leadership and policies, Micron is progressing ahead of schedule and expanding its investment, resulting in 100,000 American jobs. He characterized this as further proof of the Trump Effect driving unprecedented private-sector investment, domestic manufacturing, and employment growth.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick applauded the announcement, stating that the Trump economic approach demonstrates there has never been a more favorable moment to invest in the United States. Kelly Loeffler, head of the U.S. Small Business Administration, remarked that the $250 billion commitment represents precisely the kind of daring, American-made pledge that President Trump’s strategy was intended to unleash.
