IEEE IEDM Conference 2019 — December 7-11

Micron reveals plans for $3B expansion at Manassas site

 By Emily Sides, esides@insidenova.com, Oct 12, 2018 Updated Oct 17, 2018

Micron Technology has submitted design plans for its $3 billion expansion in Manassas, including a special-use permit request for a building taller than the city’s existing height limits.

Micron announced in August it plans to nearly double its workforce by creating an additional 1,100 jobs by 2030. State officials heralded the move as one of the biggest manufacturing projects in Virginia history.
