紐約州錫拉丘茲 - 兩位頂級微米技術官員在本週的錫拉丘茲大學公共論壇上說，他們有信心特朗普政府不會破壞公司的計劃

Two top Micron Technology officials said in a public forum at Syracuse University this week they’re confident the Trump administration won’t undermine the company’s plans to build a chipmaking complex in the town of Clay.

兩位頂級微米技術官員在本週的錫拉丘茲大學公共論壇上說，他們有信心特朗普政府不會破壞該公司在克萊鎮建造碎屑綜合體的計劃。

President Donald Trump has criticized the billion-dollar federal subsidies that Micron and other chipmakers are counting on to build factories across the U.S., raising concerns he might try to renegotiate those contracts.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統批評了十億美元的聯邦補貼，即Micron和其他芯片製造商指望在美國建立工廠，這引起了他可能試圖重新談判這些合同的擔憂。

But Micron’s execs said they have continued support from Republicans and Democrats to push ahead and expand computer chipmaking in places like Central New York.

但是Micron的高管表示，他們繼續得到共和黨和民主黨人的支持，以推動並擴大紐約中部等地的計算機芯片製造。

“The CHIPS and Science act was a bipartisan piece of legislation,” April Arnzen, executive vice president and chief people officer for Micron, said Tuesday at a forum at Syracuse University. “There is strong support for growing semiconductors and the semiconductor ecosystem in the U.S. I do not see that changing at all.”

Micron執行副總裁兼首席人物Aprin Arnzen週二在錫拉丘茲大學的一個論壇上說：“《籌碼與科學法》是兩黨的立法。” “在美國的半導體和半導體生態系統中，我根本看不到這種變化。”

Arnzen acknowledged, however, that some changes could be coming for Micron and other semiconductor companies benefitting from the CHIPS Act.

但是，阿恩岑（Arnzen）承認，從籌碼法中受益的微米和其他半導體公司可能會發生一些變化。

“Of course we have to figure out exactly if there are going to be any adjustments, what does that mean to us,” she said. “Like every other company, we’ll go through that same process.”

她說：“當然，我們必須確切弄清楚是否會進行任何調整，這對我們意味著什麼。” “像其他公司一樣，我們將經歷同一過程。”

The law, passed in 2022, provided $39 billion in grants for chipmakers to build factories in the U.S. Micron expects to get about $4.6 billion in federal grants to build two fabrication plants, or fabs, at the corner of Route 31 and Caughdenoy Road.

該法律於2022年通過，為芯片製造商提供了390億美元的贈款，以便在美國微米建造工廠，預計將獲得約46億美元的聯邦贈款，以在31號公路和Coughdenoy Road的拐角處建造兩家製造廠或工廠。

Arnzen was also asked about Micron’s commitment to diversity in light of Trump’s opposition to diversity, equity and inclusion policies. One of Trump’s first executive orders banished all diversity efforts from the federal government, calling them “illegal” and “immoral,” and encouraged federal agencies to push private companies to end DEI.

鑑於特朗普對多樣性，公平和包容性政策的反對，阿恩岑還被詢問了微米對多樣性的承諾。特朗普的第一批執行命令之一將聯邦政府的所有多樣性努力驅逐出境，稱它們為“非法”和“不道德”，並鼓勵聯邦機構推動私人公司結束DEI。

“As a federal contractor and a federal grant recipient, we will have to examine anything that is put out by the federal government and make sure that we’re in compliance,” Arnzen said. “But the end objectives that we strive to achieve -- creating access, creating opportunity, and giving everyone a chance to be successful inside of our company -- isn’t going to change.”

Arnzen說：“作為聯邦承包商和聯邦贈款獲得者，我們將不得不研究聯邦政府提出的任何東西，並確保我們處於合規性。” “但是我們努力實現的最終目標 - 創造訪問權限，創造機會，並使每個人都有在公司內部取得成功的機會 - 不會改變。”

Micron’s agreement with New York state to get up to $5 billion in subsidies could put it on a collision course with Trump’s DEI orders. The agreement with New York requires Micron to hire from “historically disadvantaged populations” and hire contracting companies owned by women, minorities and LGBT+ people.

Micron與紐約州達成協議，達成50億美元的補貼可能會使它與特朗普的DEI命令發生碰撞。與紐約的協議要求Micron從“歷史上處於弱勢群體的人口”中僱用，並僱用由婦女，少數民族和LGBT+人擁有的承包公司。

On its own, Micron has been committed to diversity programs and hiring for years. The company has issued annual diversity reports since 2018 and has taken aggressive steps to diversify its global workforce of about 44,000 people.

多年來，Micron本身一直致力於多樣性計劃和招聘。自2018年以來，該公司已發布年度多樣性報告，並採取了積極的步驟，使其全球勞動力多44,000人。

Micron could get another $11.3 billion in federal tax credits and $4 billion in state and local tax breaks for the first two fabs, which Micron estimates will cost about $48 billion to construct and equip.

MICRON可能會獲得另外113億美元的聯邦稅收抵免，前兩個工廠的州和地方稅收減免額為40億美元，Micron估計將花費約480億美元來建造和裝備。

Scott Gatzemeier, Micron’s corporate vice president for U.S. expansion, said construction is slated to start late this year.

Micron公司擴張副總裁Scott Gatzemeier表示，建築計劃於今年下半年開始。

It’s widely assumed in Washington and the semiconductor industry that Trump is looking to redo the CHIPS contracts. That could include rollbacks of requirements to provide child care, use union labor and meet certain green energy goals. House Speaker Mike Johnson said something similar in Syracuse last month.

在華盛頓和半導體行業中，特朗普希望重做籌碼合同。這可能包括需要提供托兒服務，使用工會勞動力並達到某些綠色能源目標的要求。眾議院議長邁克·約翰遜（Mike Johnson）上個月在錫拉丘茲（Syracuse）說了類似的話。

If the federal government does strip away conditions from the CHIPS contracts, it might have little effect on Micron’s Clay project. Micron’s separate deal with the state includes some of those provisions Trump might jettison, leaving Micron on the hook for them anyway.

如果聯邦政府確實將條件脫離籌碼合同，則可能對Micron的粘土項目產生影響。 Micron與該州的單獨交易包括特朗普可能會拋棄的一些規定，無論如何，Micron陷入困境。

Micron has already signed an agreement to use union labor to build the fabs, has bought land for a child care center in Clay and has committed to using 100% renewable electricity at the complex.

Micron已經簽署了一項協議，以使用工會勞動來建造工廠，並為克萊的托兒所購買了土地，並致力於在該綜合大樓使用100％可再生電力。

Gatzemeier said Tuesday he is encouraged by comments made by new U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, Trump’s cabinet member in charge of the grants to Micron and others.

加茲梅爾（Gatzemeier）週二表示，他受到新美國商務部長霍華德·盧特尼克（Howard Lutnick）的評論的鼓舞，特朗普的內閣成員負責微米和其他人的贈款。

“During his confirmation hearing, (Lutnick) talked about the need to build semiconductors in the United States, and that is exactly what our projects in Clay, in Boise, Idaho, in Manassas, Virginia, are doing,” Gatzemeier said. “We view our projects as absolutely in line with the American requirements and needs.

Gatzemeier說：“在他的確認聽證會上，（Lutnick）談到了在美國建造半導體的必要性，這正是我們在克萊，在愛達荷州博伊西，愛達荷州，弗吉尼亞州Manassas的項目。” “我們認為我們的項目與美國的需求和需求完全一致。

Micron has also signed agreements worth billions to build a new fabrication plant at its Idaho headquarters and expand its plant in Virginia.

Micron還簽署了價值數十億的協議，以在其愛達荷州總部建立新的製造工廠，並在弗吉尼亞州擴大其工廠。

Arnzen and Gatzemeier spoke at SU’s Micron Day on Tuesday. The event featured SU alumni who now work for Micron and variety of talks on the company and its plans for Clay.

Arnzen和Gatzemeier在星期二的SU Micron Day發言。該活動的特色是SU校友，他現在為Micron工作，並在公司及其粘土計劃上進行各種演講。
