The Michigan Ready Sites Program is a dual-tracked program with site readiness awards (“grants”) aimed at boosting Michigan’s inventory of investment-ready sites and technical assistance grants to identify and prepare sites to compete for projects through engagement of consultants, engineering firms, and other similar entities.
This program was previously known as the Build Ready Sites Program. The transition from Build Ready Sites to Michigan Ready Sites is effective as of April 22, 2025.
