In September, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced a $500,000 Michigan Business Development Grant to Able Medical Devices in support of its new $13 million, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Marquette, MI. This investment not only boosts local high-wage manufacturing jobs but also aligns with Michigan’s priority on the medical manufacturing industry.
For several months, LSCP’s business development team has partnered closely with Able Medical to secure this grant and explore additional local investment through an industrial development district. We’re proud to support both Able Medical and the City of Marquette - Government in advancing this impactful project and maximizing the potential of this 60+ acre site.
While LSCP’s public focus has been on community development, talent retention, and issues like housing, childcare, and air service, we also operate a robust business retention and expansion program—clearing barriers to major investments like this. Thank you, Able Medical Devices, for your commitment to our community!Medical equipment manufacturer expands, creating 40 jobs in the U.P.
