From solar shingles and advanced batteries to boats and scrap-tire recycling, Michigan is putting in place a diversified economy where firms across a wide spectrum of industries find success and grow new jobs. With assistance from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation,  10 companies announced yesterday that they are choosing to grow in Michigan and another business is expanding thanks to the state’s brownfield program. Combined, the 11 projects are expected to create 17,321 new jobs and generate over $804 million in new investment in the state. 

Michigan won these projects over intense competition from other states and other countries thanks to the Michigan Advantage:  powerful economic development tools, a competitive business climate and an outstanding workforce.
