A rosier economic picture is ahead for economies in Mid-Michigan and the state of Michigan.
That's what the head of the state's Chamber of Commerce said today when he stopped in Bay City.
Officials say lowering taxes and making tough choices will help government save money.
"We're focused on job creation and business growth," said Rich Studley, President and CEO of Michigan Chamber of Commerce. "There is a good news story to tell about what's going on in Lansing these days. Governor Snyder is working very hard to reinvent Michigan and move our state forward. The state and local chambers across the state are part of that effort. They're doing everything we can."
Local chamber officials agree with Studley.
Bay Area Chamber of Commerce president Michael Seward says they've already seen improvements in local businesses.
"We've seen local companies beginning to expand here. It's been on a slow basis but it's going to continue," he told TV5 photographer Pat McLachlan.
But economic growth won't come without challenges.
"I think sometimes in Michigan, we're our own worst enemy," said Studley. "We need to focus on Michigan's solutions to Michigan's problems. We can't wait for the federal government to help us on a lot of these issues."
Studley said local chambers need to provide encouragement and support to pro-jobs and pro-business lawmakers to get Michigan's problems fixed.
