A lot can change in just two years. Fortunately, in Lenawee County, there has been a lot of positive change in that time period. Investors, local business men and women, and corporations have chosen to invest in our communities. This investment has and will produce jobs, tax revenue, and further improve the economic vitality throughout our region.

We celebrated these successes at our recent Vision Meeting, as well as learned more about talent, education, and entrepreneurship locally and statewide.  It’s important to recognize the accomplishments that have been made as well as the challenges that still lie before us. These challenges will be met with the same level of collaboration that has been dedicated to solving them in the past.

Our partnerships have been critical to some of these successes. Regional collaboration with the Greater Ann Arbor Region, Regional Growth Partnership, and Detroit Regional Partnership along with local partnerships with educators, municipalities, workforce organizations, employers, and entrepreneurs are the key to our continued economic growth.

These partnerships have been recognized with International Economic Development Council awards for our Align Lenawee Talent Consortium and business attraction efforts in our communities.

Lenawee County residents will continue to reap the benefits of our local employers investing in new facilities, expansions, and improvements that have led to additional jobs over the past few years including:

While this list is not all inclusive, its diversity is indicative of the dedication to economic opportunity and growth that we see and hear from many throughout our County. Without the contributions of these motivated and innovative individuals, organizations, and businesses, Lenawee County would not have seen many of these exciting advancements for our local economy over the past few years.
