Micron Technology Expands Manassas, Virginia, Operations

12/31/2024
Micron Technology, Inc., an American producer of computer memory and computer data storage, plans to expand its operations in Manassas, Virginia. The up to $2.17 billion project is expected to create 340 jobs.

The investment will include the modernization of the company’s existing facility, located at 9600 Godwin Drive, to produce state-of-the-present DRAM memories and address future demand for domestic automotive, aerospace, defense and industrial markets.

“As the only U.S.-based manufacturer of memory, Micron is uniquely positioned to bring state-of-the-present memory manufacturing to the U.S., strengthening the country’s technology leadership and fostering advanced innovation,”?said Micron President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra.?“Micron’s investments in domestic semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, supported by the bipartisan CHIPS Act and the incentives offered by the Commonwealth of Virginia and the City of Manassas, will help drive economic growth and ensure that the U.S. remains at the forefront of technological advancements. Micron is grateful for Governor Glenn Youngkin and the General Assembly’s continued support as we work to produce long-lifecycle DRAM products in Virginia to meet the future memory demand for U.S. defense, aerospace, automotive, and industrial customers.”

As an incentive, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with the City of Manassas and the General Assembly’s Major Employment and Investment Project Approval Commission to secure the project. Micron will be eligible to receive an MEI Commission-approved special appropriation of up to $70 million based on an investment of more than $2.1 billion and the creation of 340 jobs, subject to approval by the Virginia General Assembly.

Support for?Micron’s job creation will be provided through the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program. The program, created by VEDP in collaboration with higher education partners, accelerates new facility startups through the direct delivery of recruitment and training services that are fully customized to a company’s unique products, processes, equipment, standards and culture. All program services are provided at no cost to qualified new and expanding companies as an incentive for job creation.

“The expansion of?Micron?Technology's Manassas facility represents a significant milestone in Virginia's semiconductor industry growth,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. “This transformative investment leverages Virginia's world-class talent pipeline and established advanced manufacturing capabilities.?Micron's confidence in Virginia sends a clear message that the Commonwealth is the premier location for semiconductor manufacturing and technological innovation.”
