Southwest Michigan First anticipates transformational economic development growth in 2024 and we want YOU to be a part of the story. Join hundreds of leaders from our region at the inaugural State of Economic Development event where we will address the issues businesses in our region are facing and come together to collaborate and overcome these challenges. Key private and public stakeholders will be in attendance to gain insight into the investments being made now that will shape our region’s future. All in attendance will come away with Southwest Michigan First’s 2023 Annual Report, our new 2024 Community Map, and a clearer view of our path to regional prosperity.
