As site executive at Micron Technology Virginia, Micron’s semiconductor manufacturing facility for computer memory chips, Parks oversees more than 1,230 employees for one of Virginia’s largest exporters.
A federally subsidized expansion, including $257 million in federal funds announced in December 2024, is expected to double the plant’s workforce, as Micron plans to move its existing DRAM manufacturing from Taiwan to Virginia. In December 2024, Micron announced a $2.17 billion investment in its Manassas facility, adding 340 employees.
The Idaho-based manufacturer doubled down on its investments in June, saying it plans to spend about $150 billion to expand manufacturing in Idaho, New York and Virginia, with another $50 billion going toward research and development.
In February, the Manassas City Council extended a tax incentive for Micron from 2030 to 2035, saving Micron about an additional
$50 million in local taxes.
Parks earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics and mathematics from Stephen F. Austin State University. He serves on the boards of Norfolk State University and the George Mason University Foundation.
Micron reported fiscal 2024 revenue of $25.11 billion, up from $15.54 billion in 2023.
