Michigan moves to snag 1,100 jobs for Flint, metro Detroit
Michigan has approved incentives to land at least 1,100 new jobs in the state, including hundreds being added by an auto supplier in the embattled city of Flint.
Lear Corp. will receive a state grant worth up to $4.35 million to build a 435-job, $29 million automotive seating assembly plant in Flint, which is recovering from a water crisis. Flint's offering a 50 percent property tax abatement.
The 160,000-square-foot facility will be based on the site of General Motors' former Buick City complex and was chosen over Mexico, according to a state memo.
“We are proud to be growing in our home state and keeping manufacturing jobs in America,” said Ray Scott, Lear executive vice president and president of Seating Operations. “This expansion of capacity reflects the positive outlook we have for our business, and will contribute to the revitalization of Flint.”
Lear aims to begin construction at the site in the fall with operations starting next spring, which will mark the return of auto manufacturing to the iconic location for the first time since 1999.
“We are proud to partner with Lear on this exciting new project,” said Flint Mayor Karen Weaver. “This project will provide hundreds of hard-working Flint residents an opportunity to obtain good paying jobs within the city limits. We are happy to welcome another new company to Flint, and look forward to the boost it will give our local economy. It’s been a long time coming.”
Building on the iconic former Buick City site is a major boost to the city’s economic prospects.
“Lear’s presence in Flint will continue the rich automotive history that’s been a part of our region for decades,” said Tim Herman, CEO of the Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce. “The Chamber looks forward to working with Lear and providing the support that the company needs to be successful here.” Read more: WNEM

New business brings more southern Indiana jobs
ProMark Building Solutions, a commercial and residential steel roofing manufacturer, celebrated the beginning of operations and the creation of 17 new jobs by 2020 with a ribbon cutting ceremony Monday at its new facilities located at 575 N. 1000 W. in Linton.
The company’s new headquarters in Greene County mark a $1.56 million investment in three new buildings totaling 35,280 square feet situated on 10 acres. ProMark will manufacture steel roofing, which includes the rolling sheet metal for roofing and siding. The business will also serve as a distribution center for Richland Laminated Columns, which will distribute products to southern Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri for the Ohio-based company. The new location also includes a retail center, which will give customers the opportunity to purchase lumber, roofing supplies and pole barn packages.
Greg Elliott of Linton, and Mark Graber of Montgomery partnered with Elmer Sensenig, owner of Richland Laminated Columns in Greenwich, Ohio, to create ProMark Building Solutions.
“Since selecting our site location, we have been warmly welcomed by Linton,” said Elliott. “This was a big undertaking, but with the strong collaboration between the city, county and the state partners, we are ready to start serving our customers. Most importantly, we are excited to be able to do business here and provide new jobs to our community.”
Joining ProMark for the ribbon cutting were Susan Vaughn, Director Southwest Regional Office for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation; Mayor John Wilkes from the City of Linton; Brianne Jerrels, Executive Director of the Greene County Economic Development Corporation (IEDC); Cheryl Hamilton, Executive Director of the Linton-Stockton Chamber of Commerce; Connie Neininger, Economic Development Director, Indiana State Department of Agriculture; and Jeff Quyle, President and CEO of Radius Indiana.
The IEDC provided $85,000 in conditional Economic Development for a Growing Economy (EDGE) tax credits, which incentivize businesses to support job creation, capital investment and to improve the standard of living for Indiana Residents. The state also awarded ProMark a $15,000 grant from the Industrial Development Grant Fund. Greene County supports the project.

Whitewater Chamber event City to raise awareness about insurance coverage
Whitewater Chamber event City to raise awareness about insurance coverage
The Whitewater Chamber of Commerce will host the “Insurance Made Simple” seminar for all community members to attend. The seminar will feature five local presenters with different jobs in the field spanning healthcare, disability, funeral funds, auto, home, life, recreational and business insurance.
Understanding health insurance is important this time of year as enrollment for federally subsidized health care coverage begins. Medicare pre-enrollment just began on Oct. 1, with regular enrollment ending Dec. 7. Health insurance enrollment runs from Nov. 1 through Dec. 15.
“There’s significant [health insurance] expansion planning in Walworth County for next year, so it’s important making sure people know there’s going to be a lot of options available,” said Jean Linos.
Linos is a Medicare and health coverage expert who works for HealthMarkets, which has a local office in Whitewater.
Roughly 10 percent of people under age 65 in Whitewater do not have coverge, compared to the Wisconsin average of 6.2 percent, according to a 2015 American Community Survey (ACS).
“A lot of people come in here just curious about insurance in general,” Discover Whitewater employee Cierra Dickinson said. “It doesn’t seem like a lot of people know if they’re on the right insurance path.”
The city chamber puts together seminars with local experts based on expressed interest from the community. Last month, the chamber hosted a social media seminar that outlined not only the functions and how-to’s of social media, but also its dangers. Following this event, citizens wanted the same seminar approach to insurances.
“I think there’s a lot of people who don’t realize they have these resources available in the community, and so it’s necessary knowing they have area experts available,” said Linos who will also cover both disability and supplemental insurance, and how they both fit into plans at the seminar.
Peggy Smithson a life agent for Binning & Dickens Insurance, will explain life insurance options, including long term care options and funeral funding plans. Her co-presenter, Mike Dickens, president of Binning & Dickens will cover commercial insurance options.
“Anyone from the individual, single or married, in all phases of life, to the business owner who may need commercial coverage for his or her business or a buy/sell agreement to transfer ownership.” Smithson said. “Things are always changing in the insurance industry, and this is a great way to find out about the most updated products available to protect your family and your assets.” Read more: The Royal Purple
