MARQUETTE, MI-- A new Upper Peninsula-wide economic development initiative unveiled in May now has a name and a logo.
InvestUP will be funded through the private-sector and has an initial budget of $500,000. The name was announced at a press conference in Marquette Monday.
Founding member and President of Viridea Group Bob Mahaney says InvestUP’s mission is to pursue and deliver new business, industries, and jobs to the region, and to recruit, train, and retain employee talent in an aging workforce. It will work with other EDO’s in the U.P. to target regional, national, and multi-national economic development opportunities.
