Saratoga County got some big economic news Monday when semiconductor giant GlobalFoundries announced it will move its headquarters from Silicon Valley to its Malta, New York campus. The move is being hailed by local officials who say it could lead to economic growth and related industries making the Capital Region home.

For reaction, WAMC’s Ian Pickus spoke with Todd Shimkus, president of the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce.
