About the MEDC

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) is the State of Michigan's one-stop resource for businesses seeking to grow in Michigan. Whether it's an expansion, a relocation, or even a concern with another agency of state government, the MEDC can help. From site location assistance to job training grants, from help with permits to tax abatements, we're the state's economic development corporation.

The MEDC also houses Travel Michigan, the State of Michigan's official agency for the promotion of tourism. Travel Michigan collaborates with the state's Destination Marketing Organizations (Convention & Visitors' Bureaus, other regional marketing entities, and tourism-related state associations) to market Michigan and provide comprehensive visitor information services--with the overall goal to create and retain jobs in the state. The Travel Michigan Industry Web site can be reviewed by following this link.

The MEDC has a private sector board of directors comprised of business people, local economic developers and educators, so that our policies and procedures meet the needs of the private sector. A corporation, not a bureaucracy, the MEDC can bring together supply and demand, matching up resources and services with the needs of our business customers.
