4/24/14 - Michigan Lt. Governor Brian Calley was in Howell Thursday as part of his periodic trips to communities around the state to discuss economic progress and listen to local leaders. Calley says he has been in around 20 Michigan communities in recent months, talking about the partnerships between the state and local communities that are helping drive Michiganâs economic resurgence. He says he was excited by the enthusiasm, drive and examples of entrepreneurial spirit that he found in Howell. Calley also says that the spirit of camaraderie between local government and the business community that he experienced in Howell is very encouraging. He adds the success of downtown Howell and nearby Brighton are prime examples of how local communities, working in concert with the state, can become dynamic destinations and a beacon for smaller communities around the state to emulate. A number of local business leaders were at the event, held at Frontal Lobe on Grand River in downtown Howell. (TT)
