City properties that are considered for the possibility of building a factory will be offered free to a business locating or expanding in Reed City. This incentive will be approved with details of the project and the employment provided.

At the time a new business makes a proposal and a decision is made to proceed, the project coordinator will schedule a meeting with the State and local officials to discuss the services from various agencies.

The Project Coordinator will provide all coordination necessary to bring these projects to completion – acting as a liaison with DDA, City, State and other local units of government.
