Companies from around the world have chosen West Michigan not only for its proximity to major markets and affordable commercial space, but also for its highly qualified workforce.

Since its introduction as the Furniture City in 1876, West Michigan has been a leading center for quality, technical expertise and innovation.

West Michigan is a growing, vibrant region that has much to offer businesses and professionals alike. The region consists of nearly 1.4 million and is anchored by the cities of Grand Rapids, Holland and Muskegon.

Our region has a vibrant, big-city feel in Grand Rapids while retaining smaller-city charm in its neighborhoods, boutique shopping areas, and tree-lined streets-all combined in a virtual playground of arts and culture and natural beauty.

The Right Place serves both current and prospective West Michigan companies, providing one-stop assistance for location, innovation and growth.

Last year, The Right Place assisted thousands of companies throughout West Michigan, connecting them to a variety of assistance programs.
