WORD PORATION development initiatives and historic investments in our communities, we’ve positioned Michigan for long-term success. The MEDC will continue to execute our ‘Make It in Michigan’ economic development strategy focusing on People, Places, and Projects to ensure that we are well-positioned to navigate potential challenges as they may arise. We’ve addressed workforce shortages, expanded talent pipelines and ensured that every Michigander has greater access to good-paying jobs in growing industries like clean energy, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. According to Climate Power, Michigan is no. 1 in the nation for winning projects funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, wrestling in more than $27.84 billion in new investment and supporting over 26,000 goodpaying jobs. Work remains, but I’m confident that Michigan’s best days are ahead as we build an economy that works for everyone. 26 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 03
