Business Retention Program
YOUR BUSINESS IS IMPORTANT TO US, AND HAVING YOU HERE MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO THE LANSING COMMUNITY!
Recognizing that the retention and growth of existing local businesses is at the heart of successful economic development and job growth in Lansing, the Lansing Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) has developed an in-house Business Retention and Expansion Program.
