The Chip Fab series compares the positives and negatives of this semiconductor plant. Information on the employment and revenue impacts versus the pollution potential, health hazards, and industry instability is scattered throughout the series. Other semiconductor manufacturers in New York and their statistics are available here as well. Health hazards such as high employee cancer risks, and water pollution and usage cause microchip plants to be dangerous. A geometrical report and a water supply study are each located in folders in the series. Local news clippings show how the community rallied against the Chip Fab project and prevented it from being constructed despite the influence of politicians who wanted the company to be built in North Greenbush.
