US Senate President Charles E. Schumer said that the combination of the federal bill and the state's local legislation will strongly promote the development of the semiconductor industry in the region.
Thomas Caulfield, President and CEO of GlobalFoundries, said that a new chapter in chip manufacturing in the United States is opening, and the historic chip bill and the New York State Green CHIPS legislation will promote semiconductor manufacturing and innovation.
