Southwest Michigan has a dynamic and growing economy, buoyed by diverse industries including technology, manufacturing, and education.

The region’s growth has fueled a real estate boom across all of its counties, but particularly within the Grand Rapids MSA, and in nearby Ottawa and Allegan counties.
