MEDC Wins 'Silver Shovel' Award: Area Development magazine has awarded the State of Michigan and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation a Silver Shovel in the magazine’s annual Gold & Silver Shovel awards competition recognizing state economic development agencies that drive significant job creation through innovative incentives, infrastructure improvements and programs to attract new employers and investments in expanded facilities. "This award is proof that our strategy is working and we are attracting new investment and jobs from companies across a wide spectrum of industries, including alternative energy, defense, life sciences and business services,” Gov. Jennifer Granholm said. States were compared only to other states in their population category. Each was rated on five weighted jobs and investment factors and ranked in three population groups. Michigan was among the top states with population over 10 million, and one of only 10 states to receive a Silver Shovel. Only those projects that began to materialize in 2008 were considered.
