LEO | Growing Michigan Together Council to Hold Public Meeting

The Growing Michigan Together Council, housed within the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, will hold its next public meeting virtually on October 12 at 1:30 p.m. The meeting agenda and webinar link will be available at www.GrowingMichigan.org.

The Growing Michigan Together Council was established with Executive Order 2023-04. They advise the governor on specific policies to grow Michigan’s population, including identifying a population goal for 2050. The council will also look at ways to prepare Michigan’s workforce for in-demand jobs and emerging industries by proposing initiatives to improve preK-12 educational outcomes and long-term funding solutions for higher education including financial aid. Additionally, to meet the needs of a growing, thriving population, the council will develop long-term, sustainable transportation and water infrastructure funding solutions.
