LANSING – Governor Jennifer M. Granholm participated in grand opening ceremonies today at the new Karmann Manufacturing facility in Plymouth and reiterated her call for Republican lawmakers to act on her 5-part economic plan to stimulate the state’s economy and create tens of thousands of good paying jobs.
“Karmann Manufacturing is an excellent example of the high-tech automotive work already being done here in Michigan,” Granholm said. “If the Republican-led Legislature will act on my economic plan, we can create more good paying jobs like these in communities throughout the state.”
Granholm said facilities like the new manufacturing plant being opened today are evidence that Michigan is poised to be a leader in tomorrow’s technology. The German-based company is opening its first North American manufacturing facility at the site where it will produce the new Pontiac G6 convertible. The new high-tech manufacturing facility is expected to employ 250 people by 2007. The company already does advanced automotive research at the Plymouth campus.
Granholm’s Jobs Today, Jobs Tomorrow initiative will not only help companies like Karmann that do automotive research, but will create jobs immediately and diversify and grow Michigan’s future economy. It will:
• create 72,000 high-wage jobs by investing $2 billion to establish Michigan as a global center of research in new technology and emerging industries;
• create 36,000 jobs over three years and make Michigan a better place to live and do business by accelerating $800 million in critical state infrastructure projects, by giving local communities new tools to carry out their own public investment projects, and by sparking private development projects;
• give children in school and adults in the workforce greater access to higher education and to the skills they need to fill both the jobs of the future and job vacancies that exist in Michigan today.
To create jobs of the future, Granholm is calling for a 21st Century Jobs Initiative that will make Michigan the nation’s epicenter of alternative energy and advanced automotive research, a leader in the biotech industry, and a hotbed for homeland security R&D. The initiative calls for a $2 billion investment over 10 years to grow Michigan’s economy by increasing research in our university, corporate, and non-profit research institutions and by stepping up efforts to turn new ideas into new commercial products. Michigan voters will be asked to approve a ballot measure this November that would authorize the Governor’s plan to create
Well if you live in Michigan, MOVE.
Granholm's a floozie. Her promises are overhyped and fraudulent.
If she gets her way, she'll probably bankrupt the state.
