Micron in Central New York: What’s at Stake for the Local Environment, Amenities and Infrastructure?

Micron’s Technology’s development of a computer chip plant in Central New York will affect the local physical and social infrastructure and natural environment in numerous ways. Concerns have been raised about increases in traffic, water and wastewater treatment needs, and protection of endangered species in the building area. In addition, the rapid population growth that Micron is expected to generate will increase demand for local infrastructure, such as roads and the airport, and for amenities, such as restaurants and recreational venues. Join our multidisciplinary group of Maxwell School faculty experts who will discuss the potential implications of the Micron development on the natural, physical, and social environments of Central New York.  

Faculty participants will include Rebecca Schewe (moderator), Yilin Hou, Alexander Rothenberg and Carmen Carrión-Flores.
