In a ripple effect Micron Technology Inc. (MU) has added money to the Manassas area business coffers when it chose this plant to product a new generation of memory chips.
The decision was based largely on global technology prices and predictions about the market for iPods and cellphones. The result of the news has meant sales from the local Toyota dealer, with a bulk order for 100 leased Corollas for Micron's fleet to realtors dedicating themselves to finding homes for new employees.
The Boise-based company has transfered employees such as Raj and Sangita Narasimhan, who have added to the local economy as well in the form of $5000 spent on private preschool to $10,000 on new furniture.
The WashingtonPost reported that an examination of Micron's $3.5 billion plant expansion in Manassas shows how the decisions of one company have helped fuel Washington's economic boom and drive the creation of 242,000 new jobs in the past five years.
