Governor Whitmer secured a significant investment for Michigan’s growing clean energy sector with Fortescue’s announcement to build an advanced manufacturing center in the state. The $800 million investment will create hundreds of high-paying jobs and support Michigan’s transition to a clean energy economy.
Fortescue, a global leader in green energy, brings state-of-the-art manufacturing and technological innovation to Michigan, focusing on producing components for renewable energy infrastructure. This partnership not only bolsters Michigan’s reputation as a hub for clean energy manufacturing but also creates valuable employment opportunities in the advanced manufacturing sector.
This investment aligns with the Governor’s strategy to attract clean energy companies to Michigan, providing long-term economic benefits while strengthening the state’s leadership in the global green energy transition. The project is poised to provide critical infrastructure and set the stage for Michigan’s workforce to thrive in the fast-evolving energy sector.
