“Today’s achievement is an important step in Micron’s $200 billion investment plan to expand memory manufacturing and R&D in the U.S.,” said Sanjay Mehrotra, chairman, president and CEO of Micron Technology.

“It reflects Micron’s enduring commitment to the customers and industries that depend on long-lifecycle memory for critical applications. We are proud to bring advanced 1α DRAM manufacturing to American soil, strengthening domestic supply for U.S. customers and the global markets we serve.

As the only United States manufacturer of memory, Micron is uniquely positioned to strengthen America’s domestic memory supply.

Micron’s 1α technology will support long-lifecycle product needs in parallel with the ramp of the company’s leading-edge memory technologies in Boise, Idaho, and Clay, New York, in the years ahead. Micron expects qualified 1α DRAM production from the Manassas fab by the end of calendar year 2026. The more than $2 billion investment will quadruple Micron’s DDR4 wafer supply in Manassas, providing strong support for U.S. automotive, defense and aerospace, and industrial customers, according to a press release.

“We are grateful to President Trump, U.S. Secretary Lutnick, Ambassador Greer, Governor Spanberger, U.S. Senators Warner and Kaine, Virginia Speaker of the House of Delegates Scott, the Commonwealth of Virginia, General Assembly, Mayor Davis and the City of Manassas, our customers, suppliers, local partners, and communities whose continued support has made this milestone possible,” said Mehrotra.

“President Trump’s tariff program is sparking a manufacturing renaissance by incentivizing companies to build and invest on American soil,” said U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer.

“Our semiconductor manufacturing base is driving American innovation and creating more resilient supply chains. Today’s $2 billion investment by Micron exemplifies the Made in America agenda that is restoring our industrial base, creating thousands of jobs while safeguarding America’s economic and national security.”

The project also advances Micron’s approximately $200 billion U.S. investment plan, joining major projects in Idaho and New York that will create an estimated 90,000 American jobs and strengthen U.S. economic and national security.

Micron also claimed that its memory and storage solutions are at the heart of the AI revolution, and AI-driven demand is reshaping every market Micron serves, from data centers to automobiles to the factory floor. As AI evolves, advanced memory has become a strategic asset, and Micron’s full portfolio — from the long-lifecycle memory manufactured in Manassas to the leading-edge memory powering the world’s most advanced systems — addresses the full range of customer needs.

“We’re thrilled that Micron is creating great jobs for Americans and bringing cutting-edge technology back to the United States. Their manufacturing expansion in Manassas is terrific news for Virginia and for our country,” said White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett.
