Five business expansions and four community improvement projects across the state are expected to generate millions of dollars in investment and create over 1,000 new jobs in Michigan.
Governor Snyder said the projects will strengthen Michigan communities and create more jobs in the state.
Steve Hilfinger is the executive vice president and chief operating officer of the MEDC. He said, he is happy to support the idea of making Michigan the comeback state.
"If you look at some of the improvements that have been made in the business climate in the last two years it's really extraordinary to get to where we are now from where we were you know just two years ago. In terms of our unemployment rate, job growth the way we are being perceived by businesses and site selectives around the country," Hilfinger said.
Hilfinger said, Michigan is becoming a model for other states on how to improve the business climate.
