(NASDAQ: MU), one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies and the only U.S.-based manufacturer of memory, will break ground at the future site of its Childcare Center in Idaho and formalize the Idaho Community Investment Framework today, alongside Idaho Governor Brad Little and Boise Mayor Lauren McLean. The Idaho Community Investment Framework reflects the shared priorities Micron and its partners have identified to lead inclusive growth across the state. Micron’s previously announced plans to invest $15 billion through the end of the decade to construct a new fab for leading-edge memory manufacturing in Boise, Idaho, was made possible by the anticipated federal grants and tax credits from the CHIPS and Science Act. This will be the first new memory manufacturing fab built in the U.S. in 20 years and is expected to create nearly 17,000 Idaho jobs. Micron is committed to building and preparing the workforce of the future to meet the scale required for leading-edge memory manufacturing and ensure U.S. technology leadership. Today’s ceremonial groundbreaking of Micron’s Childcare Center marks the company’s progress towards plans to address the need for high-quality, affordable childcare. Operated by the Treasure Valley Family YMCA, the world-class childcare facility will provide STEM-based programming. The center, located across from Micron’s corporate headquarters and future fab, will grant easy access for parents to their children, help to address barriers to workforce entry and ease the transition for Micron employees, especially mothers. Micron’s Childcare Center is one of the first commitments aligned to the Idaho Community Investment Framework. Micron has championed community and workforce development in Idaho for decades. The Idaho Community Investment Framework reflects the company’s long-standing partnership with the State of Idaho and the City of Boise, and will guide Micron’s efforts to cultivate the talent pipeline and enrich the communities where its team members live and work.
