Michigan EIBC applauds Gov. Whitmer signing bills aimed at state’s economic development

DETROIT, Mich. – The Michigan Energy Innovation Business Council (Michigan EIBC) released the following statement after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a series of bipartisan bills aimed at bolstering the clean transportation industry and growing Michigan’s economy.

“Michigan has re-positioned itself with these new investment funds to ensure our state is highly competitive for advanced mobility jobs and the supply chain industries that come with them,” said Dr. Laura Sherman, president of Michigan EIBC. “While these mark a significant shift in Michigan’s economic development strategy, there is more our state can do to attract business and grow jobs. This includes addressing the cost of electricity, which we know is the highest in the Midwest and one of the most expensive nationally, as well as continuing to make investments in charging infrastructure and fleet electrification.”
