A2: Economic Development

The Detroit Free Press reports that four economic development agencies – including Ann Arbor SPARK – are forming the Business Accelerator Network of Southeast Michigan, to better coordinate their efforts across the region. The other groups are Automation Alley, the Macomb-Oakland University Incubator and TechTown. They’ll receive a $3 million, three-year grant from the New Economy Initiative for Southeast Michigan to support the work. [Source]
