According to Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), the project will be supported by a $500,000 Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant.

We appreciate this continued vote of confidence in our talented workforce and competitive business climate here in Michigan,”?said?Quentin L. Messer, Jr., CEO of MEDC and President and Chair of the MSF Board.?“We’re pleased to work with our partners at The Right Place and Cascade Township to bring these high-wage jobs to the area, and we look forward to working with the company as it continues to grow and add jobs in Michigan.”
