"Attracting Gestamp to the region is a great example of how it takes collaboration to make a vision a reality; in addition to receiving support from MEDC [Michigan Economic Development Corporation] Ann Arbor SPARK and City of Chelsea, Signature Associates worked with the company to find the location in Chelsea and fill a building that has been vacant for some time."
