Kalamazoo Seeks to Become Life Sciences Hub

For over 100 years, scientists have been conceiving, testing, and producing new compounds in Kalamazoo County. Keith O'Brien of The Scientist has a fascinating feature that looks at how Kalamazoo business leaders weren't willing to give up when Pfizer pulled out. The story of how organizations like Southwest Michigan First (and their $50 million venture capital fund) are driving the city's quest to become a life science cluster holds value for everyone in Michigan.
