Syracuse, N.Y. -- Less than two months after Micron Technology announced plans to build a mammoth semiconductor plant in Clay, a Texas group scooped up a closed Syracuse country club for more than $3 million in hopes of cashing in on the project’s impact on Central New York’s housing market.

The Frisco, Texas, group bought the former LaFayette Hills Golf & Country Club from local real estate investor Mike Muraco on Nov. 22, according to records filed with the Onondaga County Clerk’s Office.
