$900,000 Coming to Chippewa County
U.S. Senators Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Carl Levin (D-MI) today announced that the Bay Mills Indian Community and Community College will receive $906,000 to construct a plastics technology research, testing, manufacturing and training center. The funds were awarded through the Economic Development Administration (EDA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
“This investment is great news for the economy of Northern Michigan,” insists Ms. Stabenow. “These funds will create good paying jobs in Chippewa County and help bolster economic development throughout the community.”
“This is great news for the eastern Upper Peninsula,” insists Mr. Levin. “This federal funding will bring jobs and investment dollars to the U.P. and help make Michigan a leader in plastics technology.”
This funding will create fifty five new jobs and generate over $2.8 million in private investments, according to the EDA. It is the goal of the EDA to enhance regional competitiveness and promote long-term development in regions experiencing economic hardship.
