Micron, the sole U.S. producer of advanced memory chips, will expand facilities in Boise, Idaho, and Manassas, Virginia, while building new fabrication plants in New York.

The initiative, supported by up to $275 million in additional CHIPS Act funding, will bring critical DRAM and High Bandwidth Memory production back to the U.S., enhancing supply chain resilience for AI, automotive, and defense industries.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick hailed the deal as a win for American innovation, economic growth, and national security.
