This is going to be an $11 billion world-wide company. The fact that it will be headquartered here is terrific news for Michigan.
Along with Dow's decision to locate its new joint venture here, we were thrilled to announce ? 18 new jobs projects across Michigan that will create over 6,900 new jobs and involve over $231.2 million in new investment. A quick scan of these investments shows these new jobs are in our targeted 21st century hi-tech sectors including: alternative energy, life sciences, homeland security and defense, and advanced automotive manufacturing. http://mich.gov/documents/gov/Gov154_Edit_242545_7.mp3
