(SANDUSKY) — Governor Rick Snyder is slated to visit the city of Sandusky this summer as he tours communities in the state selected for the Rising Tide Program. According to the Governor, ten communities will participate in a pilot program to work with local leaders as they develop new strategies for economic prosperity. The Rising Tide Program is sponsored by the Michigan Department of Talent and Economic Development. It will provide communities with the tools they need to design and build a solid planning, zoning, and economic development foundation to attract new businesses and help existing employers to grow. The nine other communities chosen for the program are Newberry, Central Lake, Grayling, Evart, Harrison, Charlotte, Paw Paw, Hillsdale and River Rouge. A date for Governor Snyder’s visit to Sandusky has not yet been set.
