Major sewer project could open large part of Clay to new homes and businesses near Micron

The northern reaches of Clay, Onondaga County’s most populous town, are lined with open farm fields, sprawling woodlands and miles of frontage on the Seneca and Oneida rivers.

That’s likely to change over the next decade. The county’s plans to lay a sewer line north of Route 31 could radically transform the northern section of the town into a busy network of businesses, suppliers and the kinds of dense housing and retail developments the county says will be needed when Micron Technology comes to Clay.
