The Big Rapids City Commission gave their support to an advanced battery manufacturer to come to the area. It happened during its meeting on Monday night.

 

The approved resolution reads “The City Commission hereby strongly supports efforts to bring Gotion, Inc. to our county and community, that we will make every effort to work in the interests of our constituents and community by assisting Gotion Inc. and the needs of our partnering local governments.”

 

The Mecosta County Board of Commission recently gave their support of the project as well.

 

Economic Development experts estimate this project has an opportunity to create up to 5,000 jobs in the area and throughout the supply and service chain, and is expected to lead to significant opportunities for the area.
