Montréal Trade Mission - June 2015
The Global Trade Alliance of Northern Michigan a program of Networks Northwest, in partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the Council of Great Lakes Governors, and Governor Synder, led a trade mission for Michigan companies to Montréal, Québec, Canada. The mission's goal was to assist small to medium-sized companies export products and services to this exciting Canadian market.
The Networks Northwest team did a great job to help the City of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township collaborate in addressing housing challenges in our community. They facilitated dialogue with Planning Commissioners, community stakeholders, and municipal officials to develop a plan for cohesive zoning in areas of growth for our two governments. Further, they were able to pinpoint the challenges in each unit and propose changes that would be beneficial all around. Together, we believe we'll be better prepared for housing developments and job growth in our region. We look forward to working with them on future projects!
