 The January economic outlook meeting and our 5th Friday event were OUTSTANDING! What a way to kickoff 2010!
On January 14th, Deputy State Treasurer, Mark Hass, offered real solutions to solve Michigan’s budget woes and Lisa Dancsok, the Michigan Economic Development Corporations’ SVP of Marketing and Communications, reminded us of the many reasons we can believe in Michigan’s real estate future.
I was very active on several economic development, workforce preparedness and education advocacy initiatives last year. We have so many reasons to be excited about the opportunities that lie before us. Think about the positive legacies we enjoy from being the automotive capital of the world; no other state has the multiple world-class university, healthcare and manufacturing systems we enjoy in Michigan. I truly believe we have an unprecedented opportunity to restore Michigan and Detroit to national prominence. Our intellectual and infrastructure assets, combined with our natural resources, provide a powerful platform to reposition ourselves for the new economy. An economy comprised of arts, film, life science and healthcare, alternative energy, homeland security and advanced manufacturing.
