COVERAGE
Supporting Greater West Michigan
In 2012, Governor Snyder and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) worked with regional economic development leaders
to establish 10 economic regions in Michigan. Once established, the MEDC appointed The Right Place and Lakeshore Advantage to lead regional
economic development efforts within the newly established 13-county (Region #4).
Other Regional Partnerships
Newaygo County
The Newaygo County Economic Development Office (NCEDO)
signed a three-year service contract with The Right Place, in
2015, to provide direct economic development services to the
Newaygo County business community. Through this new partnership,
NCEDO plans to leverage The Right Place’s extensive business
retention, expansion, and attraction services to provide a higher
level of direct assistance to Newaygo County’s major employers.
Ionia County
In 2011, The Right Place, Inc. and the Ionia County Economic
Alliance (ICEA) formed a strategic partnership to support
economic growth in Ionia County and West Michigan.
The Right Place and ICEA work together to provide comprehensive
economic development services including business retention,
expansion and attraction support to Ionia County businesses.
Additionally, The Right Place provides marketing support to promote
Ionia County assets to new potential businesses outside the region.

Montcalm County
In 2015, The Right Place and The Montcalm Economic Alliance
announced the start of a three-year economic development contract
to support future growth and job creation in Montcalm County.
Under the terms of the agreement, The Right Place will provide
Montcalm companies with the tools and resources available to
continue growing in the community, as well as market the County
to new businesses. This new partnership expands on a contract first
established with Greenville and the Greenville Chamber of Commerce
in June 2014.

IN PURSUIT OF A GOAL
STRATEGIC
PLAN
The Right Place 2014-2016 strategic plan, developed in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, is based on global market research and
extensive interviews with business and community leaders in West Michigan, including The Right Place Board of Directors. The resulting plan
identifies a system of economic progress and focuses The Right Place’s efforts on both improving the region’s economic underpinnings and
spurring growth in several strategic areas.
Foundations of Economic Growth
Strategic Growth Areas
Every regional economy has foundational elements which are
critical to economic growth. Without investing in and enhancing
these fundamentals, West Michigan’s overall economic future is at
risk. For this reason, The Right Place will focus on three foundational
areas over the next three years, business support systems,
infrastructure, and work-ready talent.
From furniture to automotive parts to medical devices and
award-winning software; West Michigan’s economic history is
based on innovative entrepreneurs with the know-how to make
things. Today, our business community is uniquely positioned
to drive economic growth in several key areas, including: smart
manufacturing, agribusiness and food processing, life sciences
and bio-med, information and communications technology, and
commercial design. These areas offer tremendous potential for
West Michigan job creation.
