There are some Technology Hubs being developed across the country. Escanaba and Gladstone are in ideal locations for some of this Tech Hub investment. We have everything we need to attract and retain new start-ups and talent. Its a vacation area with new tourist coming, has received significant international investment into the papermill, and it is in a place where its downtown could use some work but is affordable.
Obtaining resources like this as well as attracting younger entrepreneurs can do wonders for revamping the downtown at a time when people are moving into the area and government is interested in technology. Going from A to Z and convincing government officials that this place is the place to try something new is difficult at best. I guess we just get used to doing things the same way and expecting different results.
For the most part, I like what the administration is doing. While I might argue this way or that way is better we do need to do more for the middle class and small business. We are big business heavy and we need younger and fresher ideas.
U.S. aims to turn middle-American cities into new tech hubs with $500 million investment according to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo
