On March 16th Mayor Bruce and I joined a couple hundred other regional officials at Blackhawk Technical College for an economic development funding opportunities workshop. This event represented a collaborative effort between local organizations and the University of Michigan's Community Economic Adjustment Program.
The information presented at the event covered a diverse range of topics. The target audience included local units of government, non-profits, economic and workforce organizations, education providers and select private sector businesses.
I was encouraged to learn that there is a wide array of resources available to the communities in this area of the state that have been impacted heavily by job losses and economic downturn.
