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.)
