Dear Ryan,
Grant opportunities abound this month for a variety of
businesses. We cover "green" businesses in the link on the
left sidebar, but there are also opportunities for a wide
range of federal
grants as well as USDA
value-added producer grants and product
development fact sheets for agribusinesses. And, as you
read earlier this month, the Tri-County region is sharing in a
grant of its own: $15
million through the federal WIRED program came to the
thirteen-county Mid-Michigan region.
It seems like April and its (relatively) warmer weather
will never arrive, but they're coming - and that means the
biannual Legislative Luncheon, co-sponsored by Midland
Tomorrow and the Midland Area Chamber of Commerce, is coming
as well. This year, we have divided the two Luncheons into
State and federal luncheons so each group of legislators will
have time to focus on their specific areas. See below for more
- and don't forget to register early as space is limited!
Also, since Scott Walker was promoted to Executive
Director, Midland Tomorrow is seeking a new Economic
Development Manager. See the link at left or below for more
information. Applications are due by March 15, 2006.
