Millions of dollars in planned investments along with job creation and retention were once again touted during Ann Arbor SPARK's annual meeting on Monday May 16, 2016 at The Eagle Crest Hotel in Ypsilanti Township.
Now in its 11th year of existence, SPARK released its 2015 annual report in which the company says $130 million in new investments were announced last year, on top of 891 announced jobs and 5,010 jobs retained in the region.
"Our economy has really involved in tandem with the startups that have chooses to call this region home," said SPARK board chair Cynthia Wilbanks. "The keys to that success are the abilities to attract talent and capital."
