Pretty sure that is where I saw the black and white, silent film, 'Napoleon' back in the late 70s, with the Syracuse symphony orchestra playing the entire 3.5 hours. One of the best cultural events I ever attended.
Yup, I use to do computer work in the area back in the early 2000's and knew alot of the players then... It is still true to this day. Thanks for correcting my post not the $$ behind but the $$$ upfront HA!
Yea but, there are still many non believers.
Yeah I don’t know when people will start believing. Micron presented plans for on site rail yard last week. That approval will be a huge step, will allow trains to bring in the insane amount of commercial grade fill needed for the site.Yea but, there are still many non believers.
That's what caught my eye.
It’s not necessarily believing. It’s people on both ends of the horseshoe rooting for it to fail.
The 315 mindset...hopefully it'll change
I agree there is always lingering skepticism locally but can you really blame them? NYS doesn't have the best track record of government aided economic development. Tesla in Buffalo, Plug Power in Rochester, Soraa / NexGen /On-semi, the movie hub have all underperformed while being funded by the taxpayers. Then add the list of companies that left due to overtaxing /regulation/globalization over the decades and you can see why many view potential projects with a grain of salt. I'm hopefull on the Micron project as this wasn't a build it and they will come concept like some of the others but the continuing delays aren't winning the public's trust.
That’s where the intel chip fab is going
Micron is far from the only chips act project that has had delays. I’ve worked long enough in corporate America to know that a project this large rarely starts or ends on time. This isn’t building a bridge. I don’t think the general public understands what goes into building something like this. Shovels don’t go in the ground immediately. With that being said there’s already been a ton of progress getting this off the ground without a shovel going into the ground which will happen likely in December.
Correct. That's the distinction I tried to make with my last sentence. The Micron project is a want / need by Micron vs NYS build it and they will come but it also being heavily subsidized by both Federal and State dollars. I was just trying to put some context on the lack of trust in NY for large projects that are tied to Government incentives.
It's likely a net negative for common people. Data centers coupled with the postponement or cancellation of energy projects have started to drive electricity prices higher and that will only continue.
