Exclusive: Micron report details lasting impacts to Central NY jobs, traffic, population, pollution: The impacts of Micron Technology’s immense chipmaking complex in the town of Clay would reverberate through Central New York for decades to come, the company’s draft environmental impact report says. Residential and commercial growth spurred by Micron could bring up to 64,000 new residents to the region.
