YOUR OPINION COUNTS!

TAKE THE ONLINE SURVEY

A study led by Northern Lakes Economic Alliance, in partnership with area Chambers and municipalities, is being conducted to determine the feasibility of a networked business incubator system throughout our four county region.

A business incubator is a support system that accelerates the successful development of start-up and existing companies.

From April 15 to May 9, 2008, we will be conducting surveys to determine whether a business incubator program can be successful in our community. To make this relevant and meaningful to the community it is critical that we get sufficient feedback.

Please make every effort to respond to the online survey by May 9, 2008.

WELCOME TO THE NLEA

The Northern Lakes Economic Alliance (NLEA), founded in 1984, serves Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan and Emmet Counties in the NW Lower Peninsula of Michigan, USA.

The mission of the NLEA is to: “Enhance the economy in Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan and Emmet counties by acting as a resource to retain and create quality jobs.”

We draw on the resources of our many partners, including our Core Partners; Michigan State University Extension, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the Northwest Michigan Council of Governments, the Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center, and Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District. Working closely with various local, state and federal economic development agencies and our many elected representatives, we employ a team approach to economic development.

The NLEA serves as a resource center for communities, companies, and citizens in the four county region. Local companies are provided information or referrals on business-related matters. Business owners are provided ongoing business assistance services on a wide array of topics from starting up, to expanding, or relocating here. Local communities also receive assistance to prepare them for high quality development or redevelopment.

Our Board of Directors and Staff continually identify, review and research new and innovative programs to meet the changing needs of the communities we serve.
