LANSING, Mich. — Today, Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist visited Quad City Innovations alongside  Congresswoman Haley Stevens to support and expand sustainable technology like the work done at Quad City Innovations.   

“All Michiganders deserve to live in a healthy environment with clean air, water, and soil, which we can improve through sustainable technology,” said Lt.
