.@GovWhitmer just announced the statewide launch of the Michigan Home Energy Rebates Program (MiHER) at the #MIHealthyClimate Conference.
This new initiative will help families across the state save thousands on energy costs through home upgrades and efficient appliances.
MEDC is committed to partnering with @GovWhitmer and our bipartisan partners in #MILeg to grow Michigan’s economy and expand opportunities through our #MakeItInMichigan strategy—investing in People, Places, and Projects to drive prosperity and population growth statewide.
.@GovWhitmer hit on the importance of apprenticeship. Michigan ranks Top 10 for Registered Apprenticeships, where workers earn while they learn. Once year post-training, apprenticeships make $80.7K+, with 94% job retention! #MISTOT25
Michiganders still want to see more of their roads fixed. They don't want to have to worry about hitting a pothole and popping a tire. Let's roll up our sleeves and fix the damn roads together. #MISOTS25
We rely on Michigan’s roads to live our lives—to get to work on time, get our kids to school safely, and help our businesses thrive. That is why we’ve been working since day one to fix our roads and bridges, save drivers money, and improve Michigan’s infrastructure. #MISOTS25
Since taking office, @GovWhitmer has fixed more than 23,000 lane miles of road and 1,600 bridges, supporting tens of thousands of good-paying jobs without raising taxes on drivers. #MISOTS25#MISOTS25
But Michiganders are still paying more than $750 a year for car repairs, and Michigan’s local communities still need a long-term solution to continue fixing the damn roads and ensure Michiganders and companies can depend on reliable infrastructure across our state. #MISOTS25
Thanks to the #InflationReductionAct and @GovWhitmer’s leadership, billions of dollars in clean energy investments have been made in #Michigan, helping to protect public health, safeguard natural resources and reach the goals of the MI Healthy Climate Plan. #MISOTS25
Reopening Palisades will keep energy costs low, shore up domestic energy production and secure Michigan’s competitiveness for future economic development. #MISOTS25
"Palisades Nuclear Plant will be the first restarted nuclear plant in the history of the United States, providing hundreds of thousands of people with reliable energy." ~ @GovWhitmer #misots25
According to @ClimatePower, Michigan is No. 1 in the nation for winning IRA-funded projects, resulting in more than $27.84 billion in new investment and supporting over 26,000 good-paying jobs. #MISOTS25
Michigan is one of the top 10 states for business. We're at the forefront of clean energy investments that are fueling economic growth, creating good-paying jobs, reducing costs for families and paving the way for a sustainable future. #MISOTS25

Fixing the damn roads has been a top priority of mine since day one, but the work is far from over. We’ve got a plan to continue fixing the roads – lowering costs, improving safety, and ensuring that next time, EVERY month can be just as great as August 😉
