Statement of Work

For Michigan to gain a competitive advantage when it comes to business attraction and expansion projects, it must assist communities or other public entities (e.g. local EDCs, EDOs, etc.) with the development/enhancement of industrial sites to make them build ready and competitive for site selection projects. Build ready sites may be defined as a site that has appropriate planning, zoning, surveys, title work, environmental conditions, soil conditions, infrastructure is in place or preliminary engineering is completed, the property is available for sale and development and site information is ready, and up-to-date. A list of the criteria can be found below.
