) with the State of New York, establishing a two-year window from July 2007 to July 2009 in which AMD can choose to initiate the building of a new state of the art 300mm wafer fabrication facility in Saratoga County, NY. AMD's execution of the agreement comes after New York's Public Authorities Control Board (PACB PACB Pennsylvania Association of Community Bankers
PACB Personnel Access Control Booth
) voted on Wednesday to approve a $650 million grant for AMD.

AMD anticipates the need for a new facility and has selected the Luther Forest Technology Campus as an ideal site. The timing of the final decision depends on a number of factors, including future market demand, but with a growing customer base, leading technology and the hope for a truly fair and open competitive playing field, AMD remains optimistic about prospects for continued momentum in the years ahead.

If conditions become right for AMD to move forward, construction would begin sometime between July 2007 and July 2009. Similar to AMD's other fabrication facilities, construction of the building is expected to take about a year with another year needed for the installation of equipment and tools. The project has the potential to directly create approximately 1,200 new jobs, along with thousands of indirect jobs through supporting construction and infrastructure projects.
