Our findings, the culmination of a peculiar sort of fiscal archaeology, confirm that conviction. Sifting through dozens of local and state spending accounts, we found that a significant portion of the billion the state spends each year in taxpayer-supported economic development programs — a system of grants, sub- sidies, tax abatements and incentives, loans, bonds, and direct outlays — is giving Michigan one of the nation’s worst cases of sprawl.

The Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs is thrilled to serve as your host for NASAA Assembly 2016. We want to ensure that you have a great time while you stay in our great state. You will be visiting Michigan’s west side and the community of Grand Rapids, historically known for its contributions to design, and furniture making in particular. West Michigan is home to companies such as Steelcase, Haworth and Herman Miller – it is often said that there isn’t an uncomfortable chair anywhere in Grand Rapids. While that may be something of an exaggeration, it isn’t an exaggeration to say that this is a high-quality “maker community,” and you will see that in everything from the arts to the beer! The maker culture together with a highly walkable downtown make Grand Rapids an ideal setting for NASAA Assembly 2016. The locale strikes the perfect balance of excitement, comfort and creativity conducive to rich learning experiences during the day and fun entertainment in the evening.
