While 2021 has certainly come in with a BANG! There is so much going on in the community and at the LSCP, I just want to highlight a few things that may be of interest to you.
First and foremost, the COVID-19 vaccines are rolling in, giving us a light at the end of the tunnel. A huge shout out to the Marquette County Health Department and all their partners working so hard to get everyone vaccinated. Certainly an unprecedented project to be accomplished.
The students are back in town! This is an important economic impact to our region and we are grateful that NMU has been a leader in how to safely accomplish this. Our local businesses will definitely feel the uptick in sales.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced the Michigan COVID Recovery Plan addressing vaccine distribution, support for small businesses, food and rental assistance, schools and more.
Whitmer said that the MEDC will provide $225 million to fund an additional three programs that will support small businesses as a part of the Michigan COVID Recovery Plan.
The Michigan Mainstreet Initiative will provide grants to restaurants and other place-based small businesses. The Michigan Microenterprise Support Initiative will support businesses with less than nine employees that have struggled during the pandemic. The Business Accelerator and Resiliency Initiative will provide grants to high-tech startups.
Gov. Whitmer announces plan to end pandemic, grow the economy During a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced the state’s COVID recovery plan to grow the economy and help end the pandemic.
The plan includes a focus on vaccine distribution, economic recovery, and ways to get students back on track.
“To help grow and strengthen our economy, we must provide crucial support for our families, small businesses, and frontline workers,” said Governor Whitmer. “The MI COVID Recovery Plan will help small businesses get through the winter, help us put more shots in arms and ramp up vaccine distribution, and get our kids back on track in school. It’s the right thing to do to protect public health and jumpstart our economy, and I’m ready to work with the legislature to get it done.”
