GRAND RAPIDS – West Michigan regional economic development organization The Right Place Inc. is expanding its services to two new West Michigan counties while working with existing partners to develop full-time business attraction efforts.

Under the leadership of President and CEO Randy Thelen, who joined The Right Place at the start of the year, the organization has formed new strategic partnerships in Mason and Mecosta counties. The Right Place currently contracts to provide economic development services in Kent, Oceana, Newaygo, Ionia, Montcalm and Lake counties.

“We’ve been a regional economic development organization for the better part of 35 years,” Thelen told MiBiz. “Over the last 10 years or so, we’ve had a series of contracts with surrounding counties to provide services to support their growth.”
