Abstract
- The Michigan Strategic Fund board has approved a $250 million grant to prepare a megasite near Flint for a major manufacturing project. The grant will be used for land acquisition, due diligence, and site clearing work. The site is expected to attract automotive, battery, semiconductor, and clean tech manufacturers, with the project estimated to spur over $2 billion in investment and create more than 2,000 direct jobs. While there is no confirmed end user yet, officials are actively working to secure one. The grant has received support from various organizations, but there are also concerns raised by some residents regarding safety, environment, transparency, and community disruption.
