Adrian, MI – Lenawee Now, a private-public partnership aimed at driving economic opportunity, has been named one of 27 Small Business Support Hubs across the State of Michigan.
With its partners Lean Rocket Lab, Hillsdale EDP & the MI Small Business Development Center, Lenawee Now has been awarded a $1.4 million grant over a 3-year period from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation to expand Lean Rocket Lab’s “LOCAL”’ program into Lenawee and Hillsdale Counties.
