Michigan Economic Development Corporation
October 31, 2014
Under the Michigan Strategic Fund Act, Act 270 of 1984, before adopting a resolution that establishes or substantially changes a 21st century investment program, the Michigan Strategic Fund is required to give notice of the proposed resolution to the Governor, Secretary of the Senate, Clerk of the House of Representatives and members of the Senate and House Appropriations Committees.
On August 28, 2014, we notified you about a proposal to amend program requirements for the Michigan Supplier Diversification Fund (MSDF) and the Michigan Business Growth Fund (MBGF). The requested amendments would permit two programs that operate under MSDF and MBGF, the Loan Participation Program and the Collateral Support Program, to better respond to businesses affected by natural disasters. The change would allow any commercial borrower that has been affected by natural disaster in Michigan to be eligible for the program, at the discretion of the program.
A public hearing was held on September 3, 2014, to allow public comment on the proposed amendments to the guidelines.
Earlier this week, the Michigan Strategic Fund Board approved the proposed amendments to the guidelines. Attached are the approved guidelines, as amended, with the changes highlighted in yellow, and the authorizing resolutions (2014-184, 2014-185 and 2014-186).
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this issue.
