Governor Hochul Advances $500 Million Green Chips Community Investment Fund to Benefit Communities Surrounding Micron’s Megafab in Central New York
July 26, 2024
The Fund will support investments in four categories: workforce development, education, community investments, and housing. In keeping with Governor Hochul and Micron’s emphasis on meaningful, ground-up participation in the Green CHIPS Community Investment Fund, the program guidelines center on the grassroots priorities outlined in the recently released Community Priorities Document, from the Central New York Community Engagement Committee which was created with support from Highland Planning. These elements form the key criteria in the program guidelines, with particular consideration for projects that address the immediate priorities identified in the Community Priorities Document.
