Quad C loss of partner denied

Excerpts from article  written on August 21, 2014:

"The $1.5 billion center, commonly known as the Quad-C, is set to open by the end of the year.....

Representatives from SUNY PI are denying a published report that a participant has dropped out of the Computer Chip Commercialization Center, and Global Foundries is being courted as a replacement....

The major partner in the public-private endeavor, Advanced Nanotechnology Solutions Inc., however, still is involved, Chief Operating Officer Edmundo Ruiz said....

Another partner, Nfrastructure, said it’s still involved as well....
Comment from a third participant, Valutek, could not be immediately obtained....

Gretzinger said Global Foundries already is involved with the Quad-C through another partner, the Sematech consortium of nanotechnology companies....

It’s hoped the facility will one day offer at least 1,500 jobs. Gretzinger said a second job fair should be announced soon. More than 1,500 people came to the first job fair, which took place in April. The second fair will be scheduled for a time outside regular business hours, so people who had difficulty leaving work for the first one will be better able to attend, he said."

Note: The 2nd job fair never materialized.  I'm not sure why a job fair was even held since it is now fall of 2016 and Quad-C jobs have not materialized; a little cruel to those job applicants that showed up that day.
