Growth Office - Creative Class Activation

The purpose of this project is to convene members of the creative class & representatives of influential cultural institutions to design a strategy that attracts and retains talent by promoting Michigan's brand within the creative community or that otherwise supports positive net migration via creative class investment & programming. Early impact will be evaluated via a presentation of strategy and successful implementation of a scoped initial pilot.

 

More Details:

Let’s Grow Michigan kicked off in May 2023 as an initiative to engage Michiganders in the goal of boosting the state’s population. The population growth effort works to implement strategies from Michigan’s blueprint for growth and position the state as an even better place for Michiganders — new and old — to call home, with great opportunities, great places and welcoming communities across our state.

Let’s Grow Michigan is focused on talent attraction and retention efforts that engage the public in the campaign to grow Michigan. In partnership with local communities, Let’s Grow Michigan pilots programs to test regional growth strategies and activates stakeholders and Michiganders as ambassadors to tell Michigan’s story.
