Lenawee Now, in its ongoing commitment to promoting economic growth and fostering a vibrant business environment, partnered with the Enterprise Group of Jackson and Experience Jackson to host a group of prominent site selectors for a comprehensive familiarization tour of our region. This tour, held from August 15 to August 18, was part of our strategic effort to showcase the communities’ unique assets, business-friendly environment, and growth potential to key decision-makers in the site selection industry.
Executives from Thomas and Hutton Engineering, Cushman and Wakefield, and Webster Global Site Selectors visited Lenawee and Jackson Counties to become immersed in the communities and discover the benefits and opportunities to doing business in the area. The tour provided participants with insights into the community’s character and quality of life. Throughout the weekend, our guests gained an understanding of living and working in Southeastern Michigan by visiting established businesses, experiencing region-specific recreational activities, and attending networking dinners. The tour culminated at Michigan International Speedway with the NASCAR FireKeepers Casino 400.
“This familiarization tour was an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate what makes our counties a competitive choice for business investment and expansion,” said Pat Farver, Executive Director of Lenawee Now. “By hosting these influential site selectors, we’ve taken an important step toward attracting new businesses, creating jobs, and boosting our local economy.”
The site selectors expressed their appreciation for the warm hospitality and the comprehensive overview of what our region has to offer. They noted the community’s strategic location, skilled workforce, and strong quality of life as significant advantages that could attract new businesses to the area.
Lenawee County has seen substantial interest from potential investors and developers in recent years, thanks to targeted efforts by Lenawee Now to promote the area’s strengths. The insights gained from this familiarization tour will help guide the organization’s ongoing efforts to attract new businesses and support existing ones.
Lenawee Now looks forward to building on the momentum generated by this successful event and continuing to position Lenawee County as a leading choice for business investment in the region.
