Congressman Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) has announced a major multi-billion-dollar investment by Micron Technology to expand and modernize its manufacturing facility in Manassas, Virginia. The investment marks a significant boost for Virginia’s advanced manufacturing sector and reflects Congressman Subramanyam’s ongoing efforts to bring high-impact economic development to the region.

Subramanyam has worked closely with Micron to help secure critical investments in Virginia since his tenure in the Virginia General Assembly. He emphasized that this partnership will continue, with plans to attract further high-tech investments to the state.

“I am thrilled to announce this historic investment by Micron in our community,” said Congressman Suhas Subramanyam said in a statement “This will bring more manufacturing jobs to Virginia, boost our local economy, and keep our country at the forefront of innovation and technology. I will continue to work tirelessly to secure more investments like this and bring high paying jobs to our community.”

Micron’s Chairman, President, and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra underscored the broader national implications of the investment, which includes domestic memory manufacturing and research and development.

“This approximately $200 billion investment will reinforce America’s technological leadership, create tens of thousands of American jobs across the semiconductor ecosystem, and secure a domestic supply of semiconductors—critical to economic and national security,” said Mehrotra. “We are grateful for the support from President Trump, Secretary Lutnick and our federal, state, and local partners who have been instrumental in advancing domestic semiconductor manufacturing.”

The statement noted that as part of the expansion, Micron has finalized a $275 million CHIPS Act direct funding award to support the Manassas facility’s growth. The project, set to begin this year, will focus on onshoring production of the company’s 1-alpha DRAM node. The expansion aligns with Micron’s commitment to serving key sectors such as automotive, defense and aerospace, industrial, and medical technology.

Additionally, the investment includes workforce development initiatives such as semiconductor curriculum development, community college apprenticeships, university partnerships, and programs designed to expand access to careers in the semiconductor industry.

“These efforts will be critical to building a robust talent pipeline that will support Micron’s long-term and U.S. technology leadership,” the statement added.
