Muskegon Area First
President's Report for City of Muskegon Commission Work Session
January 8, 2007
Our Mission: Muskegon Area First strives to enhance the economic vitality of Muskegon
County consistent with its quality of life. Our focus is on job creation through the
retention, expansion, and attraction of private investment.
2006 Activities
The Muskegon Area First 2006 Annual Report is currently being finalized.
Included below is a summary of what will appear in the final report. Muskegon
Area First's core mission is business attraction and retention, and goals are
implemented through general services, as well as special projects which
contribute to over-all attraction and retention. Special projects Muskegon Area
First administers include the PTAC center, Muskegon Main Street, marketing of
the Muskegon County Wastewater System, and downtown Whitehall business
district improvements. During 2006, Muskegon Area First ended its Whetstone
Incubator Project when it terminated its lease and the lease was taken up by a
Whetstone client that had grown to the point that it needed the entire space.

7. 2006 Attraction Efforts
MAF continues Whittaker Associates to receive leads of expanding
companies that fit the target industries that were identified by MAF in 2005.
The biggest attraction success of2006 was Connecticut based Tower
Laboratories entrance into Muskegon county with its purchase of the Perrigo
facilities at Montague. Attraction efforts have also been influenced MAF' s
effort to identify businesses interested in locating at the Muskegon County
Wastewater System properties. Currently MAF is working with a large
industrial food processing company to locate at the current treatment system
facility, as well as a large lot industial user. MAF is working with three Bio-
fuel prospects, one for the Whitehall Wastewater site, one to partner with
SAPPI, and one to partner with another currently Muskegon county business.
MAF is currently investigating SmartZone marketing activities through the
21 ' t Century Jobs Fund.
