Under the direction of Michigan’s (and the nation’s) first Chief Growth Officer, Let's Grow Michigan is the population growth campaign following Governor Whitmer’s establishment of the Growing Michigan Together Council. The Council was created to address the state’s population growth trends and the need for bold recommendations and action in Michigan. The Let’s Grow Michigan initiative seeks to raise awareness and pursue implementation of Council recommendations, reverse existing trends with talent attraction and retention efforts, engage the public in the campaign to grow Michigan and tell Michigan’s story as a great place to call home.

When Congress passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), Governor Whitmer recognized a once-in-a-generation opportunity to get things done for everyday Michiganders. The BIL will rebuild America’s roads, bridges and rails, expand access to clean drinking water, ensure every American has access to high-speed internet, tackle the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, and invest in communities that have too often been left behind.

Governor Whitmer established the Michigan Infrastructure Office (MIO) to ensure resources sent to Michigan through BIL, also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) are used efficiently and effectively.
