Delta County MI. Commissioner Meeting (10/07/2025): Airports, Open Positions, Veterans, and Investment Interest Continues to Rise

Entrepreneurial Corner
(How ideas start)
Tom states,
"Hey Joe, If we make custom wood 
pieces and furniture could we put a storefront
downtown to showcase our products?"
Joe replies, 
"Thats a good idea. I think 
I saw a storefront that was affordable".
Tom smiles,
"I bet we could
export these downstate and overseas".
Joe thinks for a second,
"We have rail, airport, port, highways, T1 lines
and even a new distribution center
coming. Now seems to be the time
to think of starting something."

Recently, I came across the county agenda, which is a great resource for understanding the latest updates, changes, and adjustments happening within the community. However, if you’re someone considering investing in the area or starting a business, I highly recommend watching the local government meeting videos online. Since COVID, many of these meetings have added a virtual component, making it easier for people to stay connected and engaged.

There has been interest in airport investments, veterans, and much more. 

Delta County Agendas and Minutes

Let’s say I’m an investor and I like what I see. People are working together, local governments are financially stable, there’s a skilled labor force, a strong sense of community, reliable transportation infrastructure, T-1 lines, vibrant harbors, well-maintained parks, events that promote retention, accessible ports, affordable buildings, and an administration that appears open to sound investment ideas. While there’s still room for greater coordination between city and county officials to attract new investment, overall, it’s a clear thumbs-up.

Industrial and Logistics Investments

The county offers an industrial park, a downtown area ready for new ventures, and several buildings suitable for refurbishment. Recent investments include the House of Ludington, a potential martini bar, new roads near the park, new apartments at Cats, updated marina signage, improved water lines, fun activities and more. Finding the right site for your business could be as simple as a phone call or email away.
