TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE
MIDDLE MICHIGAN REGION
Here's what business and
industry leaders are saying about the benefits of their Middle Michigan
Region location:
CITY OF CLARE
“The City of Clare is a tremendously satisfied customer of Middle
Michigan Development Corporation (MMDC). I have difficulty imagining how
we ever managed our industrial economic development programs prior to
our engagement with MMDC – and I certainly cannot envision the future of
regional economic development without our continuing partnership with
MMDC. George Dunn and his phenomenal staff are simply among the absolute
best at what they do.”
Ken Hibl
City Manager
Clare Michigan
(The City of Clare is a Selected Michigan Main Street Community.)
CITY OF HARRISON
“The City of Harrison continues to look to Middle Michigan Development
Corporation (MMDC) to help create positive economic growth in our area.
Together, in cooperation with the Enterprise Community, we have worked
to develop a Downtown Development Authority and the Leadership Institute
– which both play integral roles in the growth of Harrison.
One project that allows the City of Harrison and the Harrison Area
Economic Development Corporation (HAEDCO) to attract new business is the
recent acquisition and transformation of the former Weldon Transit Mix
property into an industrial park. The location of the property, with its
proximity to the city and ease of access to major roadways, along with
the strong area workforce, is very advantageous for businesses located
in the park.
It is with great pride and enthusiasm that the City of Harrison, HAEDCO,
and MMDC actively work together in furthering the growth of our already
strong community.
The future is bright in Harrison, and our longstanding partnership with
MMDC ensures our continued success in the economic development of our
community.”
Brook Wood
Mayor of Harrison
(The City of Harrison nestled in Michigan’s “Up North” is conveniently
located on US-127 with twenty lakes in twenty minutes.)
DELFIELD
“Delfield and Mt. Pleasant have been partnered since 1971 when we
relocated our operations from the Detroit area to Mt. Pleasant. During
the past 35 years we've enjoyed a great relationship with the community.
The availability of talent for almost any level position is one of the
major advantages of being located in the Mid Michigan area. Whether we
needed to fill one position or as has happened over 150 positions we've
never had a problem finding the right talent. With a major University
(CMU) and a Community College (MMCC) located right here we are able to
find the talent we need in refrigeration, welding, engineering and
management. We've found our local government more than willing to work
with us as we've grown over the years. With great educational facilities
for pre-school through graduate school, an excellent health system, and
an available workforce I can't think of a better place to build a
successful business.”
Ron Anderson
VP Human Resources
The Delfield Group
(Delfield is the manufacturer of foodservice equipment used to store,
display and serve food.)
MT. PLEASANT
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
“Since 1963, the Mt. Pleasant Industrial Development Corporation has had
great success in bringing new business to our community. We have been
able to develop property into what is now our Industrial Park North. The
Park houses numerous facilities for companies that play an integral role
in our community. We have also taken a very active role in attracting
new business to the Mt. Pleasant area by constructing spec buildings in
the City’s Industrial Park South and in the Mt. Pleasant SmartZonesm.
We are fortunate to be in a position where we can stimulate growth by
creating space that is “move-in” ready for possible tenants before we
even have prospective buyers for the space. This cuts down the time it
takes for their business to move into our area and get up and running.
Our ability to construct industrial parks and available buildings,
coupled with MMDC and their ability to promote our region and bring
clients to our community has become a winning combination.”
Terry Stacy, Treasurer
Mt. Pleasant Industrial Development Corporation
(The Mt. Pleasant Industrial Development Corporation is an association
of local businesses that was formed to promote industrial development in
the Mt. Pleasant area.)
