Support Aerotropolis through the Next Michigan Development Act
To compete globally with other airport regions and attract out of state businesses to the Detroit Region Aerotropolis, we need aggressive incentives in Michigan. The Next Michigan Development Act (NMDA) would empower regional entities like the Aerotropolis Development Corporation with the tools to transform the Aerotropolis region into an engine for job creation. The formula for success is simple:
Aerotropolis + Next Michigan Development Act = 64,000 jobs for Michigan
Would you take a few minutes of your time to write to your Michigan Representative or Senator? Our government partners have done it. Our business and labor leaders have done it too. What about you?
Please contact your legislators in the Michigan House of Representatives and Michigan Senate and express your support for the Next Michigan Development Act.
Together, we will rebuild Michigan's economy.

The Detroit Region Aerotropolis is strategically located along the North American trade corridor, centrally located between Toronto and Chicago, and only minutes from the Canadian border. All modes of transportation (air, sea, rail and highway) can be accessed within a ten-mile radius, making the region an ideal hub for logistics.
