Lansing, Mich. (June 6, 2025) — Yesterday, IONETIX, a leader in advanced radiopharmaceutical technologies, is investing $25.75 million to expand its Delta Township facility. The project will add a second cyclotron, and an advanced isotope processing laboratory. The expansion is expected to create 53 high-tech jobs and further accelerate innovation in life sciences and nuclear medicine manufacturing.

“IONETIX’s expansion is creating high-skill, high-value jobs and elevating the Lansing Region within the global medical technology landscape,” said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP). “LEAP is proud to support this project and the ecosystem of innovative MedTech companies making our region a destination for biomedical research and economic opportunity.” 

IONETIX marked the milestone with a community event at its Delta Township facility, bringing together company leaders, regional partners, and officials from across the state. Speakers included representatives from IONETIX, LEAP, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), and Delta Township. 

Founded in 2009 from technology developed at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center, IONETIX has pioneered the world’s first commercial compact superconducting cyclotron, the ION-12SC, which is used to produce N-13 ammonia, one of the most accurate positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD). The company has also expanded its focus to targeted alpha therapy (TAT), an emerging cancer treatment utilizing high-energy alpha particles to target cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue. 

"Delta Township and the Lansing region offer the ideal environment for IONETIX’s continued growth. The area’s highly skilled workforce, robust infrastructure, and strong spirit of public-private collaboration make it the perfect location for our expansion,” said Kevin J. Cameron, Chief Executive Officer of IONETIX. “We are honored to invest in this community and proud that it is in the forefront of creating diagnostic and therapeutic innovations.”

This expansion aligns with IONETIX’s broader strategy to grow its radiopharmaceutical manufacturing network, advance commercialization of new therapies, and reinforce Michigan's leadership in life sciences and medical technology innovation.

The State of Michigan, through the Michigan Business Development Program, awarded IONETIX $750,000 in incentives to support this expansion, ensuring a strong pipeline of skilled talent and continued innovation in the region.

We are thrilled with the company’s commitment to Michigan and the Lansing community by investing over $25 million to accelerate the efforts to one day cure cancer,” said Matt McCauley, Senior Vice President for Regional Development at the MEDC. "Team Michigan welcomes IONETIX Corporation’s expansion, furthering Michigan’s leadership in the life sciences and medical technology industries. We applaud the company’s vision to Make it in Michigan.

MBN on the Road | Pure Lansing - LEAP in Delta Twp. for  IONETIX Ribbon Cutting June 5th 2025

In this episode, Glen Sutherland is joined by his personal accountant, Kristopher McEvoy, a Canadian CPA specializing in cross-border taxation. Kristopher works with clients investing in U.S. real estate, as well as those relocating or expanding businesses between Canada and the U.S.

The discussion centers around a frequently asked question: what’s the most efficient way for Canadians to pay themselves from their U.S. real estate or business income?

Kristopher explains that the answer depends on the ownership structure:

If using a U.S. Limited Partnership (LP):
You’re taxed annually on profits—not on withdrawals—so taking money out has no further tax consequences.

If using a U.S. Corporation:
Paying yourself personally via dividends or payroll can be highly tax inefficient, with a potential combined tax burden of up to 50–60%.
A more efficient strategy involves using a Canadian corporation to own the U.S. corporation, enabling:

Management fees

Interest charges

Intercompany dividends (typically subject to only 5% U.S. withholding tax under the current tax treaty)

Completion of LEAP’s Small Town Enhancement Grant Program Delivered Big Wins for Rural Communities
Program created lasting impact for small towns and communities across Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties

LANSING, Mich. (June 18, 2025) — The Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP), in partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), proudly announces the successful completion of its first ever Small Town Enhancement Grant Program, which invested nearly $90,000 across five rural communities in Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties.

Launched in early 2024, the program empowered small towns to breathe new life into community spaces that define local identity and economic potential. With projects now complete, the results speak volumes—showcasing how targeted investments can foster pride, encourage gathering, and create lasting impact.

“We believe that thriving, beautiful places are a cornerstone of economic growth,” said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of LEAP. “This program proves that with the right support, our small towns can build spaces that preserve their charm while embracing the future.”

“Everyone was really excited to hear the bell ring again,” said Becky Austin, Vermontville village clerk when referring to the town’s historic bell tower dating back to 1862. “This building has always been a gathering place. It means so much to our community to see it restored and honored.”

The project was celebrated with a community ribbon-cutting in November, capping off a journey that began with LEAP’s traveling “Small Town Road Show” and check presentation earlier in the summer.

Over in Maple Rapids, local favorite Phillips Cider Bar & Pizzeria received a long-overdue facelift, restoring the façade of the 120-year-old building while maintaining its vintage appeal. The revitalization is already helping reenergize the small town’s downtown corridor.

“We’ve had people stop by while local contractors were still finishing the job—just to say how excited they were,” said Gregg Smyth, owner of Phillips Cider Bar & Pizzeria. “This grant helped us invest in the town we love. There’s new energy here, and it’s just the beginning.”

The project was unveiled during a November ribbon cutting that drew crowds and cemented the site’s renewed role as a centerpiece of the community.

Other completed projects include the City of Ovid, which enhanced Main Street with new banners; the City of Leslie, which installed a new community pavilion; and the Village of Stockbridge, where a $25,000 grant transformed a vacant patio area next to Village Hall into a walkable community space designed for relaxation and connection.

A unified list of Top 10 priorities for statewide growth has just been released — which of these do you believe will have the most immediate economic impact in Michigan, and why?

EDLM regions represent 84% of Michigan’s GDP. How does this collective voice help shape statewide policy compared to regional efforts acting alone?

Talent attraction and retention continues to be a major issue for employers. Can you explain how the proposed Regional Talent Attraction and Retention Fund would work in practice?

EDLM is calling to double the R&D tax credit to $200 million. How critical is innovation funding to keeping Michigan competitive nationally and globally?

Many of these priorities involve revitalization, placemaking, and community development. How does investing in vibrant local communities directly influence business attraction and economic growth?

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

Lansing, Mich. (Aug. 2025) — Economic Development Leaders for Michigan (EDLM), a coalition of the state’s premier regional economic development organizations, today 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.
