The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) created the MI Sites Program in 2024, in collaboration with Quest Site Solutions, along with multiple state agencies and economic development stakeholders, to enhance the readiness of industrial properties in the State of Michigan. The primary objective of the MI Sites Program is to develop a statewide portfolio of best-in-class ready sites to address the real estate needs of companies seeking to locate or expand in Michigan. To help accomplish this objective, consistent statewide criteria for site readiness was established, and the data and information collected during the program will be utilized to determine the current readiness classification of each property – bronze, silver, or gold. Accelerate Jackson County (AJC) staff participated in this extensive request for information process and significant efforts were required to coordinate, develop, and compile the information necessary to complete Step 2 of the program. As a result, Jackson Technology Park North was designated as Bronze in the MI Sites Program, which will expire on October 8, 2027. An additional outcome of this program is the marketing package that AJC and the Blackman Charter Township Local Development Finance Authority (BLDFA) can provide to potential tenants that truly sets this site above others for development in Michigan.
