There are many factors that influence decisions regarding business investment and jobs in a region. One critical difference-maker is how a region stacks up when it comes to the cost and value of government. It is our local governments that provide valued services including public safety, infrastructure and recreation that influence the quality of life in which prospective employees want to live. The tri-county region (Ingham, Eaton and Clinton) consists of 77 general purpose local governments including 12 cities, 14 villages and 48 townships. Collectively, the government functions delivered by those governments represent a $500 million enterprise.

  • MDOT) Plays a Vital Role in This Effort
    2017 Dear Citizen: Creating and retaining jobs in Michigan is a top priority for state government. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) plays a vital role in this effort. Businesses rely on transportation systems to move people and goods. States that have safe, reliable and efficient transportation systems have a competitive advantage over other states in retaining businesses and attracting new ones. Michigan always has prided itself on its roads and highways. The simple truth, however, is that we cannot maintain our road system at present revenue levels. When adjusted for inflation, our current level of investment is about what it was 20 years ago. Today, MDOT is smaller and leaner, and innovative “best practices” have helped stretch hard-earned taxpayer dollars, but these efforts alone are insufficient to generate the amount of money needed to repair our roads and highways. To create job growth in Michigan - and keep our children from having to leave the state to find work - more investment is needed in other transportation modes as well. These include our airports, local public transit systems, freight rail and Great Lakes ports, all vital movers of people and goods. Young people especially are seeking other means of transportation, such as bus rapid transit, commuter rail and accelerated passenger rail. They also are interested in walkable, bike- friendly urban areas. All of this requires additional investment. Investing in our state’s transportation system, though, directly creates thousands of jobs and promotes private sector job creation. Whatever the level of resources, MDOT’s goal always is to build and maintain the best possible transportation system in Michigan.

  • Jeff Mason President, Michigan Strategic Fund
    MEMORANDUM DATE: November 27, 2019 TO: Members of the Michigan Legislature FROM: Jeff Mason President, Michigan Strategic Fund SUBJECT: 2018 Michigan Renaissance Zone Annual Report Section 15 of Public Act 376 of 1996, the Michigan Renaissance Zone Act, requires an annual report be submitted to the legislature. Pursuant to this requirement, attached is the 2018 annual report. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact our Office of Government Relations at 517.335.1847. Attachment Michigan Renaissance Zone Act 2018 Legislative Report The Michigan Renaissance Zone Act (the “Act”), P.A. 376 of 1996, established the Michigan Renaissance Zone initiative to foster economic opportunities in the state; facilitate economic development; stimulate industrial, commercial and residential improvements; prevent physical and infrastructure deterioration of defined areas; and provide for the reuse of unproductive or abandoned industrial properties. Most state and local taxes, including both real and personal property tax, are abated within Renaissance Zones for a specified number of years. Michigan Business Tax liability is excused for company operations within a Renaissance Zone; however, Corporate Income Tax liability is not eligible for abatement under the program. Federal government taxes, local bond obligations, school sinking fund, or special assessments may still be due. Additionally, companies are not exempt from paying Michigan sales and use taxes. The tax benefits are phased out in 25% increments during the Zone’s final three years of existence. All awards that expired, were revoked or otherwise ended will be removed from future reports. The State of Michigan reimburses intermediate school districts, local school districts, community college districts, and public libraries for lost revenue where taxes are abated.
