Because of the population concentration in southeast Michigan, there is a corresponding concentration of entrepreneurial support organizations in southeast Michigan. However, this does not mean there are not other groups performing outstanding economic development work throughout the entire state. Take, for example, The Northern Lakes Economic Alliance (NLEA).
The NLEA provides resources for communities and entrepreneurs to create and retain jobs in the northern Michigan counties of Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, and Emmet. The NLEA provides business planning and counseling services through its partnership with the Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center (MI-sbTdc). The NLEA also heads up a Business Resource Center Network in northern Michigan with ten locations throughout the aforementioned counties.
Dearborn was largely farm land before Henry Ford moved in. Kitty litter was invented by Ed Lowe - who grew up in Cassopolis, Michigan. We don't know where the next great idea is going to come from, and it is important that entrepreneurship be actively supported throughout the state. This is exactly the kind of work being done by organizations like the NLEA.
