Granholm visits Next Energy

WDET ran an evening and morning report on Governor Jennifer Granholm's visit to Next Energy. Granholm spent the morning (Wed.) visiting the offices of NextEnergy in Detroit . NextEnergy is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to the development of alternative energy technology. Aided by the $2 billion job creation package she signed into law last week, Granholm says NextEnergy will help attract businesses to Michigan . "Under here there are, I don't know, 10 companies that they are building labs for that will start here in this incubator space they call it, and then will be able to move on to have their own stand alone companies once they have their feet on the ground. So this provides technical assistance and startup infrastructure to be able to get a business going." The Governor also remarked that, "Next Energy was created with our help, but it was really the impetus of Wayne State University . Next Energy is Wayne State 's brain child."
