A Sault Ste. Marie company is expanding their manufacturing facility in Boyne City thanks to a Michigan Strategic Fund grant.
A community development block grant in the amount of $350,000 is going to Charlevoix County for job training, from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
The job training is for an expansion project in Boyne City by
Precision Edge Surgical Products, headquartered in Sault Ste. Marie. Precision Edge plans to expand its existing Boyne City facility by adding $2 million in equipment and creating 30 new jobs. Part of the deal is that at least 16 of the positions will be held by low or moderate income individuals.
Boyne City itself also is supporting the project through property tax abatements of about $251,000.
The funding was announced in a round of seven projects that total $11.1 million in private investment and 33 new jobs in Michigan. The others were located in Houghton, Cass City, Detroit, Birmingham, and Grand Rapids.
