Business Leaders for Michigan has unveiled its Plan for a Stronger Michigan, which identifies key steps to growing good-paying jobs and accelerating our state’s economic turnaround. Michigan has come far, but has much more to do to become even stronger and a “Top Ten” state for jobs, personal income, and a healthy economy. It will require all Michiganders and our elected leaders coming together to propel our state forward by focusing on core issues like improving our K-12 education and job training systems, making college more affordable, and strengthening our infrastructure and fiscal stability.
