- In 2007, the State along with the Town of Malta approved and starting the construction of an exit 11 bypass that allows commuters to and from the new Global Founderies Chip Factory to not impede and cause congestion, safety concerns and pollution from high traffic for employees commuting and having to cut through the village to access route 9. The project cost $22 Million dollars and keeps high traffic out of the village to maintain its victorian "gingerbread" home nostalgia as well as protect the residents from increased traffic and safety concerns for those with small children.
