Governor Granholm's Plan to Transform Michigan's Economy

In her first term, Governor Jennifer Granholm set in motion the most comprehensive and aggressive economic plan in the nation, working to diversify Michigan's economy, educate Michigan children, give every student the opportunity to attend college, and create universal access to affordable health care. Determined to face the challenge of this new era head-on, she set a course of bold change that would end a decade of drift. While battling a rising tide of red ink in the state's budget, Granholm insisted that Michigan begin a long overdue transformation of its economy so that every citizen could have the opportunity to achieve a good life.

Following her election to a second term, Governor Granholm is pushing to kick Michigan's economic plan into overdrive. She has a plan that builds on every success and aggressively goes after new opportunities for economic growth by increasing efforts to diversify the economy, reforming government to cut costs, strengthening Michigan schools, retraining displaced workers, expanding access to health care, and revitalizing Michigan cities.
