Chesterfield Township (WWJ) -- Developers are asking for help from the state of Michigan to build a new $100 million convention center in Chesterfield Township.
They're requesting a grant or tax credit from the Michigan Economic Growth Authority (MEGA) to offset construction costs. Meantime, state lawmakers are considering a tax break for the project that could mean savings of up to $300,000 a year.
The project is expected to create about 2,000 Michigan jobs.
