The Muskegon Chronicle reports that five Muskegon businesses plan some $100 million in developments and expansions that will create new technology and other jobs in the region.
According to excerpts from the story:
Five local business leaders stepped forward Friday to remind the community that investments in Muskegon continue even in the midst of the worst economy since the Great Depression. The five businesses -- from the largest employer in Muskegon County to a small real estate development company -- outlined local investments of $100 million this year. They told the Muskegon Area Chamber of Commerce's Business for Breakfast gathering that Muskegon has been a good place in which to invest.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be in Michigan and particularly in Muskegon," said Robert Pero, area general manager for Frontier Communications, which purchased the local telephone company from Verizon Communications earlier this year. Frontier has made Muskegon its Michigan headquarters. "We are here and will be expanding," Pero said of the national company with $6 billion in annual revenues serving mainly rural America. "We chose Muskegon for our state office because it is a great place to live and it will be attractive for our technical workers."
