Market One

During our Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) visit with St. Julian Winery, our Economic Development Manager Katie Multhauf learned about their future growth plans. By sitting down with your leadership and gaining a better understanding of your business needs and goals, we can identify opportunities to support your business and collaborate with our regional and state partners. Early engagement is key! #econdev #economicdevelopment #businessvisits #business #growth #collaboration #engagement #statepartners #agriculture #southwestmi #community #communitydevelopment

State Representative Pauline Wendzel joined Market One to meet with Special-Lite leadership and learn more about operations in Van Buren County. Company President Steve Benscoter discussed how they are creating innovative products like the surface mounted sliding door system and how their products are being purchased by some of the largest health care organizations in the U.S. Market One appreciates Representative Wendzel spending time with businesses in her district and learning about their growth challenges.
