Development in and Around Syracuse Discussion

Weren't all of the projects that you listed funded by New York State money? The Micron project is a totally different beast with very little comparison to those projects.
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.
 
Can someone explain to me the value of these cities (Columbus OH for example) that are building all these data warehouses? Few jobs after construction with tons of water and power use. I'm not smart enough to understand the long term play.

Good question. I mean, the benefits to the construction industry are obvious, but beyond that it seems as though municipalities (through tax revenue) and utility companies are the other big winners. Sure, they create some permanent jobs too, I suppose, but yeah, doesn't seem like a huge net benefit to the common man that lives in these areas.

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.

They have large Universities in the area, which feed off these job opportunities.
 
Yup, TTM is putting the finishing touches on their new facility in Dewitt right now. $140M facility that is projected to add 400 jobs. Short drive down 481 (soon to be 81) from the Micron facility site.

This is a very important business. They are keeping the most sensitive stuff here in Syracuse away from the spying/copy cats from foreign countries. TTM does have factories in China but it builds the older technologies there.
