Michigan State University is excited to announce its year three EDA investment award. The MSU EDA University Center for Regional Economic Innovation is engaged in strategic partnerships and collaborative learning to develop and share the most innovative economic development tools, models, policies, and practices. This collaborative learning focuses on communities that face deeply rooted and social and economic inequality, turning them into economically vibrant places that encourage high-growth entrepreneurial development and create well-paid, sustainable new-economy jobs. 

REI’s collaboration has also contributed to MSU’s Innovation and Economic Prosperity designation. The designation is an affirmation of long-term efforts which demonstrates, “substantive, sustainable, and institution-wide commitment to strategy for regional economic engagement, growth and economic opportunity.”
