Michigan’s Sixth District is
basically the southwest corner of Michigan, a square
that goes
from the lakeshore of Michigan to the outskirts of
Battle Creek and the Indiana state line to just south
of Holland and Grand Rapids. In many ways, this district
is a microcosm of the country.
It is a diverse district with two urban centers,
Kalamazoo and the Twin Cities of Benton Harbor-St.
Joseph, as well as many rural communities. It has
both a strong industrial base and a diverse farming
community. Industrial work ranges from tool and die
shops to pharmaceuticals, appliances to auto parts.
Farms produce everything from asparagus to zucchini,
milk to wine.
Southwest Michigan has a great deal to offer for
business, education and visitors. I have compiled
some links for you that might find helpful in getting
to know this area. I hope that you will take full
advantage of what this wonderful area has to offer.
