“Building vibrant, energetic cities is essential to attracting jobs, people, and opportunity to our state,” said Granholm. “If Michigan is to be competitive in the 21st century economy, we have to attract new businesses and retain the highly-educated, talented young people who are crucial to building and sustaining businesses in today’s global marketplace. I’m thrilled about the potential of these projects and the positive impact they will have on their communities and the economic vitality of our state.”
