Encouraging News for Michigan.
Michigan was ranked # 3 in the Nation for Corporate Expansions.
Site Selection’s annual Governor’s Cup award recognizes the state with the most new or expanded private-sector capital projects as tracked by publisher Conway Data Inc.’s New Plant Database.
Ohio was named #1 and Texas #2
Major new corporate projects for Michigan in 2009 included:
- Advanced energy storage and solar firms like Xtreme Power
- Clairvoyant Energy on the site of the former Ford Wixom assembly plant
- Advanced-battery development and manufacturing firms A123 Systems (Ann Arbor),
- Johnson Controls-Saft Advanced Power Solutions (Holland)
- Dow Kokam (Midland)
- Major expansions by General Motors and Ford for electric and hybrid vehicle production here.
Site Selection also recognized Detroit-Warren-Livonia as the nation’s No. 4 metro area with a population of one million or more for new and expanded corporate facilities. Among metro areas with a population of between 200,000 and one million, Grand Rapids-Wyoming tied for third; Holland-Grand Haven was fifth; and Ann Arbor and Lansing-East Lansing tied for sixth.
Michigan Economic Development Corp. president and CEO Greg Main said. “These high rankings reinforce that Michigan is a top-tier location for growing companies because of our aggressive initiatives, strong business climate and hard-working and talented workforce.”
Well I am cheering and clapping for this good news for our Michigan.
