Following the Oct. 4 announcement that Micron will move into the Town of Clay, McMahon promised to hold public meetings with the community to discuss the regional impact of the development.

“I have committed to making sure that every corner of every neighborhood, village and town feels the tremendously positive impact that Micron’s investment will have for Onondaga County and Central York,” McMahon said.

McMahon said he hopes to engage directly with the community and hear their thoughts as Micron becomes part of Onondaga County. These meetings will discuss a range of topics, including workforce development, future housing needs and infrastructure. The first meeting will be at Clay Town Hall on Monday at 6 p.m.
