West Michigan's business leaders find it increasingly difficult to find the talent they need to spur business growth and fuel Michigan's economic recovery, but a new coalition of economic development corporations has a plan to change all that.

The Right Place is joining forces with the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Grand Rapids, the Grand Rapids/Kent County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Lakeshore Advantage, the Holland Area Chamber of Commerce, Southwest Michigan First and The Employers Association to attack the problem, promote the area and bring in and keep those coveted workers.
