The Mid-Michigan Innovation Team, through a Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) grant from the Department of Labor, has made significant progress in addressing the challenges facing the Mid-Michigan region.

This assessment was presented by Randall Kempner, vice president for regional innovation at the Council, at the Mid-Michigan Innovation Team Town Hall Meeting in spring 2007 and used public data, interviews with community leaders and a survey of business leaders to evaluate the innovation assets, networks and culture of the 13 counties in the Mid-Michigan region.
