President's Point of View: In the spirit of presenting the many sides of an issue . . .
April 16, 2009
here is the blog entry from the Right Place,Inc dated April 16th re: the Michigan Future, Inc report I wrote about yesterday. Good points made and I think that acknowledgment from Michigan Future that many recommendations from the past have been taken seriously is really what Right Place would have liked to have seen. That said, I do think there needs to be consensus on the direction for the state and for West Michigan. Right Place is the premier economic development organization in our estimation in the country. Certainly the GRCF support of InnovationWorks in the amount of $500,000 this past fall demonstrates our commitment to the strategies and goals of Right Place, Inc. Talent …economic development … major focus on how to turn our state around is needed!!!!!
