"The Marcy Nanocenter at SUNY Polytechnic Institute is a 434-acre greenfield campus developed for semiconductor and advanced technology manufacturing facilities. It is now home to Cree/Wolfspeed, which announced in 2019 that it would build a $1 billion, state-of-the-art, automotive-qualified 200mm-capable power wafer fabrication facility at the site.
