LANSING, MI-The state and four Michigan companies have announced a series of major business expansions around the state, representing some $70 million in private investments. Included in the list are expansions by Cobasys and Material Sciences Corp. and brownfield rehab projects in the cities of Cheboygan and Grand Haven.

The projects will help to create 770 direct jobs, state officials claim. According to a University of Michigan economic analysis, another 741 indirect jobs are expected to result from increased economic activity associated with the company expansions, for a total of 1,511 jobs.

Material Sciences Corp. plans to invest $17.4 million to establish a 54,000-sf technical center in Plymouth Township instead of a competing site in Ohio. The expansion is expected to create six new positions in the first year of the project for a total of 17 by 2014. In addition, the company will relocate 24 current employees in Farmington Hills to the new facility.
