Economic Development Leaders for Michigan Unveil Top 10 Priorities for Statewide Growth and Prosperity 

Economic Development Leaders for Michigan (EDLM), a coalition of the state’s premier regional economic development organizations, recently announced a unified list of 10 priorities designed to position Michigan for long-term growth, innovation, and prosperity. Representing regions that comprise 79% of the state’s population and 84% of its gross domestic product, EDLM brings together leaders with over 225 years of combined experience in economic development. The coalition is committed to advancing strategies that will drive business investment, talent development, community revitalization, and innovation across the state. “A competitive economic development toolbox locally impacts all elements of a community — from small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs, to placemaking projects like farmers markets, and to successfully attracting brand-new investment and good jobs. The better funded and more robust our state economic development toolbox and programs are, the more revenue we will generate for the state, supporting the quality services we all want,” said Bob Trezise, President and CEO of the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP). The Top 10 Economic Development Priorities outlined by EDLM include targeted investments and policy reforms across four key categories: Business Attraction and Retention Maintain Business Development Program at $100 million to stay competitive for job-creating investments. Adopt a performance-based, accountable withholding tax incentive to support impactful project attraction and expansion. Community Development Renew and fund the Revitalization and Placemaking (RAP) Program at $50 million to support vibrant, place-based development. Renew and fund the Community Revitalization Program (CRP) at $50 million to reinvest in communities across Michigan. Modernize locally driven programs: SmartZone: Extend expiring TIF agreements by 15 years, with potential for additional extensions based on local approval. Transformational Brownfield Program: Simplify program access and remove funding caps to unlock more redevelopment opportunities. Fund the Regional Strategic Site Readiness Program at $50 million annually to accelerate development of competitive, investment-ready sites. Talent Maintain the Going PRO Talent Fund, emphasizing growth in advanced manufacturing and technology sectors. Establish a $10 million Regional Talent Attraction and Retention Fund to support locally tailored workforce initiatives. Innovation & Entrepreneurship Double the state’s R&D Tax Credit to $200 million to encourage more private-sector innovation. Recommit to regionally led Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programming at $100 million, restoring funding to 2012 levels (currently $15.7 million). “This list reflects our shared vision for a stronger, more competitive Michigan," said Randy Thelen, President and CEO of the Right Place and current Chair of EDLM. “These are the smart, bold investments we believe will create economic momentum, attract and retain talent, and ensure every region of our state can thrive.” EDLM members urge state policymakers, business leaders, and stakeholders across Michigan to support and champion these initiatives as part of a collaborative strategy to secure Michigan’s future economic success.

Michigan Works! Association Wraps Up 2025 Annual Conference in Kalamazoo

The Michigan Works! Association successfully hosted its 2025 Annual Conference September 7–9 at the Radisson Plaza Hotel & Suites in Kalamazoo. The three-day event brought together workforce development professionals, employers, educators, policymakers, and community leaders to explore solutions for Michigan’s most pressing talent and employment challenges.

The conference opened Sunday with workshops, the Association’s annual meeting, and a networking reception at the Gilmore Car Museum, providing an engaging start for attendees to connect with peers and partners.

On Monday, the agenda featured keynote presentations from Sharon Gai and Dr. Christopher Laney, who offered insights into global workforce trends, leadership, and the future of employment. Attendees engaged in a variety of workshops covering workforce readiness, training strategies, and employer engagement. The Exhibit Hall was a focal point for building connections between businesses, service providers, and Michigan Works! agencies,  (and also where MBN recorded its interviews from). While networking opportunities such as the Dessert Break & Headshot Lounge further fostered collaboration.

The conference concluded Tuesday with workshops and a dynamic closing keynote from Dr. Sherene McHenry, emphasizing leadership, communication, and strategies to strengthen Michigan’s workforce ecosystem. An invitation-only Executive Breakfast also gave business and policy leaders an opportunity to exchange ideas in a more focused setting.

Across the three days, the conference highlighted the critical role of employment in economic development. Employers learned about the tangible costs of workforce gaps, explored innovative approaches to upskilling, and built partnerships to address talent shortages. The emphasis on collaboration positioned Michigan Works! as a vital connector between business needs and workforce solutions.

By drawing together leaders from across the state, the 2025 Annual Conference underscored Michigan’s commitment to building a stronger, more resilient economy through workforce innovation, business engagement, and talent development.
