Building a fab in NY state is far too expensive and was never a good idea to begin with. It certainly was never going to happen if AMD was keeping its wafer mfg under its own name and nickel. This is why it is taking so long for any firm decisions to be revealed regarding the plans, and they are only really starting to consider doing anything with it now that a spinoff and oil money will be responsible for paying for it. As for the disgruntled NY staters, I'm sure you have a right to be ticked off about the process thus far. But really, you need to be a lot more realistic about the costs and logistics of why someone would ever build a fab there. That's being terribly naive in my view.
Yes, with a $47billion budget whole and staring down massive cuts in government services, NY state will really be inclined to give further tax breaks. What a time to make such a request >_<
Now that the site will no longer be used by AMD, as far as I am concerned the deal with NY state should be off, and the Fab Company should be prepared to pay its way. With all the oil money behind this venture, it is absolutely rediculous for them to be getting ANY public monies for this venture.

As a resident of the area, I say: F**k you, AMD, and the horse you rode in on!

Oh, and a hugs and kisses to all our a**hole politicians and bureaucrats for bending over once more. Problem is, the citizens are the ones who get f**ked.
Some time ago, I was hoping AMD would hurry up and build the New York fab.

Today, I'd advise New York should tell this newly spawned company to go to hell.
So after 1.2 Bil in subsidies plus a couple hundred mil in upgrades to existing infrastructure AMD has their hand out again?!?!?

This is like a CEO asking for a per diem to cover food and incidentals, and maybe even a company car...

The sad thing is, they will probably get it... In the end NY will create 1200-1500 jobs at a cost nearing 1.5Bil. This puts it at about $1Mil/job created.
