- $100,000 in grant money was given to projects in various communities with the aim of slowing or stopping Michigan’s brain drain and attracting younger and more diverse talent aka the Creative Class.http://www.umich.edu/~econdev/coolcities/index.htmlOn June third 2004, Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm announced that 20 Cool Cities pilot projects were each to receive $100,000 and have preferred access to over $100 million in state grants, loans and other assistance programs comprising of a development “resource toolbox.” The cities receiving awards were: Alpena, Bay City, Detroit, Ferndale, Flint, Grand Rapids, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Marquette, Port Huron, Portland, Saginaw, Saugatuck, Sault Ste. Marie, Traverse City, Warren, and Ypsilanti. The cities themselves didn’t win the grants so much as various proposed projects amidst a wealth of applicants. The winning projects run the gamut, ranging from the relocation of a metalworking school and sculpture gallery to the creation of “refrigerated ice plaza and skating rink.”[i]Granholm’s Cool City Initiative is in response to a frightening trend observed over the last few years in Michigan. Based on information from the 2000 census, leading demographers, such as The University of Michigan’s own William H. Frey, have discovered that Michigan is losing its young educated population in droves. Groaning under the weight of its own economic debt, Michigan has watched its young professionals leave for sun-painted cites in Arizona, Nevada and Texas. Between the years 1995 and 2000, the Detroit/Ann Arbor/ Flint area lost the fourth largest amount of college graduates over the age of 25 among major metropolitan areas in the country.[ii] Although not a new observation, Frey’s 2003 and 2004 reports made the situation seem all the more urgent.

- Picture with watercolor overlay background(Advanced)http://www.umich.edu/~econdev/coolcities/index.html Clustering has shown to be the best way to not only attract the Creative Class, but to foster innovative and competitive businesses. This is true whether you believe in Robert Putnam’s vision of “social capital,”[viii] or in Richard Florida’s theories.[ix] If subscribing to Flordia’s views, as Granholm seems to, then the Creative Class prefers “semi-autonomous community – where they can quickly plug in, pursue opportunities and build a wide variety of relationships.”[x] This is true in their selection of which coffee houses to patronize as well as in their working habits. This dynamism can only happen if the sector is concentrated. In her book Regional Advantage, Anna Lee Saxenian partly attributes Silicon Valley’s success to similar business practices. Computer engineers were able to benefit from each other’s proximity and employees were able to shift to different companies seamlessly, without having to move their home.[xi] The theories behind the Creative Class show that regional clustering is the reason why they are able to be so creativeTo reproduce the picture effects on this slide, do the following:On the Home tab, in the Slides group, click Layout, and then click Blank.On the Insert tab, in the Images group, click Picture.In the Insert Picture dialog box, select a picture and then click Insert.Under Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the Size group, click the arrow below Crop, point to Crop to Shape, and then under Rectangle click Rounded Rectangle.Drag the yellow diamond adjustment handle to the left to decrease the width of the donut shape.Select the picture.
