Michigan’s Muskegon County, on the banks of Lake Michigan, is fighting its 14.9 percent unemployment rate by offering free land to companies that will guarantee 25 or more full-time jobs at one of two industrial parks.
Besides land, companies that locate in the parks will pay no property taxes until 2012 and receive discounts on water and other utilities for three years.
