A year ago, when news that internet giant Google might be looking for a new location for its AdWords online advertising unit, Governor Granholm directed her team at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) to do “whatever it takes” to encourage the company to choose Michigan.  The governor, the MEDC, and Michigan put a convincing package on the table; Google has now announced that it will locate its AdWords unit – the company’s leading revenue generator – in Ann Arbor, creating 1,000 high-paying direct jobs and more than 1,200 spin off jobs.
