LANSING, Mich. – Governor Gretchen Whitmer joined the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) on August 4, 2023 to announce two business expansion projects expected to create a total of 130 new jobs and generate a total capital investment of nearly $10 million have received support from the Michigan Strategic Fund. The projects are in the cities of Bronson and Big Rapids.

 “On August 4, 2023, investments will create 60 good-paying jobs and invest nearly $10 million into communities in Northwest and South Michigan, building on our economic momentum,” said Governor Whitmer. “Our economic development efforts have helped us bring manufacturing jobs home and created opportunities for Michiganders in every corner of our state. Let’s keep working together to win projects that bring good-paying, high-skill jobs home so everyone, in any community, can ‘make it’ in Michigan. Together, we will continue sending a clear message that Michigan is open for business.”

“The decisions by these companies to expand in Michigan highlight the strength of our automotive and advanced manufacturing industries, and further demonstrate Team Michigan’s commitment to delivering long-term economic growth for all Michiganders,” said MEDC Sr. Vice President of Regional Prosperity Matt McCauley. “These projects are wins for the entire state. We are grateful to the Governor, legislators of both parties and local officials for their continued support of our efforts. These investments reflect our commitment to ensuring that Michigan becomes an even better place for each of our 10 million-plus friends and neighbors to live, work, visit, play, and create futures. We will continue working to earn investments and support our people as we encourage businesses of all sizes to make it in Michigan.”
