Located at 92 Congress St. on the second floor, the 5,000-square-foot space will feature flexible private offices and suites, meeting spaces and shared coworking areas, for rent by the day, week or month, ownership said.

This newest Saratoga CoWorks location is being completely renovated by the organization’s cofounders, Daniel Bullis and Dorothy Rogers-Bullis (who also own drb Business Interiors), prior to the grand opening in August.

As part of the nation’s effort to sustain the microelectronics manufacturing capability necessary for national and economic security, and in support of an executive order entitled America’s Supply Chains, the U.S. Department of Defense has awarded a $117 million agreement to GlobalFoundries. 

GlobalFoundries, headquartered  in Malta,  will transfer its 45 nanometer (nm) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) semiconductor manufacturing process from its Fab 10 facility in East Fishkill, to its Fab 8 facility in Malta, the defense department announced in a press release.

The effort is a follow-on from an $8 million award issued last year through which GlobalFoundries conducted initial engineering baseline activities for the transfer. 

Federal officials said the agreement will ensure access to 45nm SOI semiconductors critical to Department of Defense strategic systems.

The agreement is the latest collaboration in the longstanding partnership between the Department of Defense and GlobalFoundries to provide silicon-based semiconductors for defense aerospace applications.

“GlobalFoundries is proud to be a longtime supplier to the U.S. government, and we remain deeply committed to meeting the semiconductor technology needs of the Department of Defense, as well as the technologies so critical to our national security,” said  company CEO Tom Caulfield. “The strong public-private partnership demonstrated with this new supply and tech transfer agreement is an excellent example of the impact federal collaboration and investment in semiconductor manufacturing can have on strengthening domestic supply chains. Our partnership boosts the national economy, while also securing a strategic and reliable supply of chips needed by the U.S. government for aerospace, defense, and other mission-critical applications.”

Posted onMay 8, 2022

Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) is partnering with LIFT Marketing and The Martin Group to assist with paid media strategy, media buying, public relations and public affairs initiatives.

Leveraging the nationally significant programming and unique experiences SPAC provides, the collaboration aims to grow national and international awareness for SPAC, while promoting Saratoga as a year-round cultural tourism destination for travelers craving authentic, immersive arts and nature experiences, officials said.

From the city’s vibrant downtown with scores of museums, art galleries and live music venues to SPAC’s internationally recognized festival of music and dance, visitors can immerse themselves in arts, culture, and exquisite nature. And yet, it is still undiscovered by many cultural tourists,” said Elizabeth Sobol, president and CEO of SPAC. “Our partnerships with LIFT and The Martin Group will expand our team’s capabilities to reach more people and new audiences who are craving these experiences.”
