Commonwealth Associates to Relocate in Right to Work Michigan

Commonwealth Associates is relocating and adding new headquarters in Right to Work Jackson, Michigan. In order to accomplish this, the company is investing $4.2 million toward the project. As a result, they will also create 60 new jobs. So this is an exciting economic development!

From Area Development Magazine:

“Commonwealth’s legacy began in downtown Jackson over 100 years ago. […] The opportunity to repurpose an existing building, a building that Commonwealth designed in the 1950s, in the heart of downtown and become integral with the revitalization of the community is a long-term goal about to be realized.â€

The project is being supported by a $400,000 Jobs Ready Michigan Program performance-based grant. The City of Jackson Brownfield Redevelopment Authority also received MSF approval of $203,183 in state tax capture for reimbursement of brownfield activities at the site. The city of Jackson is supporting the project through approval of local tax capture.
