Could Micron help Clay realize decades-old dream of a waterfront village?

Clay, N.Y. – Onondaga County’s most populous town has no town square, a focal point that would draw people for shopping, dining, and recreation – and give the town an identity.

But Clay does have a vision, now more than 20 years old, of creating a waterfront community that could serve as a town square. And Town Supervisor Damian Ulatowski thinks Micron Technology Inc.’s plans to build a huge computer chip plant in Clay, creating thousands of jobs, will help turn the vision into a reality.
