Business Location and Expansion Resources
Michigan’s Industrial Facilities Exemption
Also known as PA 198, IFT, or Industrial Facilities Tax, this exemption remains one of the most used economic development tools in Michigan. Contact us if you are interested in this program and we can help you navigate the process and assist with application submission.
Michigan’s Business Development Program
This tool is used to encourage job creation and investment in Michigan when the company could choose a location elsewhere and Michigan wants to be competitive.
Opportunity Zones
Opportunity Zones provide federal tax relief for capital gains invested in certain low-income locations around the United States. Through the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the U.S. Congress Opportunity Zone program was created to stimulate investment in economically distressed communities as designated by selected United States census tracts. States could designate up to 25 percent of low-income census tracts as Opportunity Zones. Here in Livingston County, we have Opportunity Zones located in Fowlerville.
Site Selection Services
The EDCLC is dedicated to helping companies looking to grow, expand, or relocate within Livingston County. We are here to help you find a space that suits your needs and identify the resources and connections to best facilitate your site selection.
State Site Readiness Program (SSRP)
The Strategic Site Readiness Program (SSRP) provides financial incentives to eligible applicants to conduct eligible activities on, or related to, strategic sites and mega-strategic sites in Michigan, for the purpose of creating a statewide inventory of investment-ready sites to attract and promote investment in Michigan. Administered by MEDC on behalf of the Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF), the SSRP provides access to grants, loans, and other economic assistance.
