Apple supplier SK Hynix's subsidiary Solidigm is considering a U.S. NAND flash memory factory, with upstate New York emerging as a leading candidate, according to Reuters. The move would reduce Solidigm's reliance on its NAND factory in China. Yesterday, it emerged that the Apple supplier is in manufacturing talks with Intel to start memory production in the U.S.

Upstate NY is one of the fastest growing semiconductor manufacturing regions in the country, with existing foundries already in operation and new operations like Micron's massive memory fabrication campus under construction outside of Syracuse. By 2030 an estimated 25% of US-made chips will be from the region for a simple reason: water. New York State can be extremely business friendly when it wants to be and has a number of incentive programs to grow the industry, and none of the current operations are unionized.
Definitely a good move to come to the US, but New York state not a good idea with their negative attitude to business and they will have union crap to deal with.

New York is a good state and already has a partnership with Micron in the Capital District.
Definitely a good move to come to the US, but New York state not a good idea with their negative attitude to business and they will have union crap to deal with.
Why are you down on Unions? Unions are what got us a 40 hour work week, a 5 day work week, and a whole lot more. Unions protect employees from being exploited by the employers.

You want a locality to give away the store for a factory to be built? How's that Foxconn plant in Wisconsin doing?
New York is not a business friendly state. Many other choices that offer lucrative opportunities for all involved.
Incentives need to have metrics that are met before they are paid out. New York won't just give carte blanche they will make the investment as long as the company is going to deliver on such investment.

Arizona has a major problem for chip manufacturing: no water. And Texas isn't exactly welcoming to brown people these days, along with having its own water supply issues to deal with (Corpus Christi has been on the brink of running out of water entirely for a year or two).
Of all states to open a new chip manufacturing factory, why choose New York with its High taxes, excessive regulations, NIMBY-ism, and a general anti-business attitude from the Governor. No consideration for states like Arizona or Texas?They would be a much better choice given there is already an established logistics hub for existing fabs and other similar factories.
