Saginaw Future 32nd ANNUAL AWARDS Luncheon
Letter from the Chair
It is my pleasure to Chair an organization that has helped spur tremendous growth in Saginaw County in 2023. This is also a time to recognize the fantastic opportunity that the Canadian Hockey League 2024 Memorial Cup presented by Dow will bring to Saginaw and the entire Great Lakes Bay Region in just a few months. We all are preparing for the renowned tournament and supporting our Saginaw Spirit.
Multi-million-dollar expansions in advanced manufacturing led the way in 2023 from Amigo Mobility in Bridgeport to Saginaw Control and Engineering in Thomas Township. We assisted four projects that total $22 million to address housing needs. Core Saginaw County companies continue to develop and add new opportunities, such as Shaheen Development, Morley Companies, Nexteer and MERRILL.
And yes, we are preparing for the Memorial Cup from the Symphony Lane Placemaking project to administering the Saginaw DDA, which supported 10 façade grants that total nearly $380,000 in complete project costs.
Please enjoy reading about the successful 2023 projects and Go Spirit!
