Well not only Mio, all the small towns across Michigan, by creating a effort to bring business into small towns.

I'm thinking this is a pretty heavy lift.

I know commenting on what the Michigan Governor is actually getting done is boring stuff, however it is notable that somehow, she has managed to get a unanimous vote in the budget committee.

Bridge Michigan wrote:LANSING—Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Republican-led Legislature struck a major budget deal late Wednesday to spend $4.7 billion in state surplus and federal stimulus funds to upgrade aging infrastructure across Michigan, among other things.

The spending plan includes more than $1.7 billion for drinking water and wastewater system improvement projects, $450 million for parks and trails, $317 million for road and bridge repairs and $250 million for broadband infrastructure grants to expand high-speed internet to unserved areas.

The deal won broad and bipartisan support in the House Appropriations Committee late Wednesday as lawmakers from both major political parties approved an amended bill in a 27-0 vote.
