The investment will include the construction of a 150,000-square-foot facility, located at the Port City Industrial Park, which will also serve as the company’s corporate headquarters.
"Greater Muskegon Economic Development is excited to see Forming Technologies expanding in the City of Muskegon,” said Greg King, Director of Economic Development for Greater Muskegon Economic Development. “This business expansion reinforces the skilled and dedicated workforce we have here in West Michigan. By choosing to remain and expand in Muskegon County, Forming Technologies exemplifies a commitment to innovation and support for the economic growth of our greater community."
The project is being supported by the Michigan Strategic Fund with a $500,000 Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant. Additionally, the City of Muskegon anticipates approval of a real property tax abatement. Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) also authorized a State Education Tax abatement to be used in conjunction with the locally approved abatement.
“The City of Muskegon is thrilled that Forming Technologies has chosen to make this significant investment in our community. Their track record of employing Muskegon area residents and providing jobs that can support our community’s families will continue in this brand new, 200,000-square-foot facility and represents another successful industrial development project in the city,” noted Jake Eckholm, Director of Development Services, City of Muskegon. “We are grateful to have such capable partners in Core Commercial Realty, Greater Muskegon Economic Development, and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation that make this type of large project possible.”
