New construction projects are expected to create new structures and more jobs in West Michigan.

The Spectrum Health System Development Project will include the construction of an eight-story building and two parking structures in the Monroe North District near the Medical Mile in Grand Rapids. When completed, the 157,000-square-foot building will house Spectrum Health’s Center for Transformation and Innovation campus. The project is expected to generate a total capital investment of $97.8 million and will include a total of 1,800 newly created and relocated jobs.
LG Energy Solution, formerly known as LG Chem Michigan, manufactures large lithium-ion polymer battery cells and packs for electric vehicles.
 The project is expected to generate a total capital investment of $1.7 billion and create 1,200 jobs for Michigan workers. Michigan was chosen for the project over competing sites in the Southeast U.S. and overseas.
