Even though General Motors is investing seven billion dollars in electric vehicles and batteries in Michigan, the CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Quentin Messer, is looking for other opportunities. He told Michigan News Network one in five work in the auto industry now.

“We have the know-how, we have great talent, we have hard working friends and neighbors, and we are aggressively looking to find other opportunities as wide as vertical farming and agriculture to digital health to building upon the presence of KLA and Hemlock…in the semiconductor industry,” Messer said.

Messer says it’s also important to work to retain the companies we have in Michigan. He says the pandemic has been challenging, but they have been meeting with site selectors virtually.
