Here outside Saratoga Springs, NY there's a lot of exciting economic development afoot. GlobalFoundries, the former chip fab wing of AMD is building 1, and possibly another $2B chip fab 1-2 interstate exits South of Saratoga Springs. Each fab is projected to support a net 40,000+ jobs across the food chain, including many high value engineering jobs.
The chip fab(s) are essentially being built at an otherwise non-descript interchange best known as a minor bedroom community North of Albany, in an area with really no comparable industry or employers. Many employees are likely to come in from out of the area, too, which combined, I think, is going to drive some new settlement and activity patterns. Specifically, I expect residential growth in Saratoga Springs tied to the chip fab.
The private club market in and around Saratoga is limited. McGgregor is probably the best option, though the condos are unflattering. Saratoga National will undoubtedly win members, but is not currently a family club. Beyond that there aren't more country clubs until you hit Glens Falls 15 miles north.
Given this description of the micro-climate here, does this sound like the ingredients necessary to support new development, even as the macro-climate crabwalks?
Thanks, Dave
