There are a lot of things to be excited about in Michigan lately and the BBB is thrilled to be part of the community helping to move us ahead. Signs show that the housing market is starting to recover, the unemployment rate is down and consumer confidence is bouncing back. While there is still a lot of work to be done, this is good news for our local businesses and for consumers who have been hit hard over the years.
I've had the pleasure of attending some great events over the last month, including the Detroit Business Conference that shined a light on some of the business leaders who are rebuilding Detroit and bolstering Michigan's economy. At the BBB, we are looking forward to seeing some of these initiatives come to fruition. Please join us online as we discuss and promote our great state and continue to provide you with alerts and information to keep you safe. You can find us on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Linkedin, YouTube and Pinterest - please stop in and say hi!
