Adrian, MI – There was local support for the $1.48 billion investment to help Michigan compete for economic development projects.
State Representative Bronna Kahle and State Senator Dale Zorn voted in support of the investment that aims to bring new jobs to the state, and offer relief to employers that continue to struggle from COVID shutdowns.
The measure, approved by both the House and Senate with bipartisan support, sets aside $1 billion in a new fund the Legislature will be able to utilize to create incentives and prepare sites to attract new and growing businesses.
Rep. Kahle pointed to the recent decision by Ford Motor Company to pass over its home state of Michigan for a large multi-billion-dollar investment in manufacturing as a signal that the state’s old economic development tools are no longer effective.
