Event Description:

Bring Your Next Project One Step Closer

Whether your community is preparing a site for development, a business is considering an expansion, or a property needs environmental support, knowing where to begin—and which resources are available—can be challenging.



At Catalyst Conversations: Tools and Resources for Local Investment, representatives from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, and the Northern Lakes Economic Alliance will share practical guidance to help move projects forward.

 

Attendees will learn more about:

• Funding and financing tools for development

• Programs that support public and private investment

• Resources for addressing environmental and brownfield challenges

• Best practices for navigating the development process

• Technical assistance available to businesses, developers, and communities

 

Bring your questions, connect directly with resource providers, and leave with a better understanding of the tools that can support investment in Northern Michigan.
