HOLLAND, Mich. — The state of Michigan has pledged $2.8M for infrastructure improvements needed as LG Energy Solution Michigan moves forward with plans for a new facility.
According to Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s office, the project qualifies for funding from Michigan Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) Transportation Economic Development Fund (TEDF).
