Welcome to Mid Michigan's Second Wave

Greetings from Bay City, Midland, Mount Pleasant, Saginaw, and all the cities and towns in between.

We're a weekly online magazine that showcases what's new, what's next, what's growing, and what's on the leading edge in the Great Lakes Bay, Mid Michigan region.

In our businesses, downtowns, organizations, and neighborhoods we see a lot of exciting new growth throughout Mid Michigan. We're here to tell you about the people behind the progress and how they're working to move the region forward into this second wave of growth and innovation.

A "second wave" is defined as the stage in the progression of technology where the emphasis shifts from experimentation to real results. With the diversity, drive, and talent of the people living and working here in Mid Michigan, it is clear that our region is riding an exciting new wave.

Every week, we'll tell you about who is riding that second wave into the new economy. We'll feature the region's entrepreneurs, innovators, inventors, cutting-edge companies, crackerjack economic development experts, forward-thinking organizations, enterprising students, and creative residents who help make our region the vibrant place that it is to live, work, and do business.

In our Growth and Innovation News section, we'll highlight growing companies, new businesses, entrepreneurs, new investment, innovation, economic development news, and good news about jobs and the people who land them. We'll also tell you about the Mid Michigan companies and people who attract the attention of local, regional, and national media outlets in a section called In the News.

We will bring Mid Michigan's Second Wave to you every Tuesday, and we invite you to sign up for your free e-mail edition. We'd also like to invite you to join us on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube where we will post some of Mid Michigan's good news as it happens.

Our door is always open, so please send us your ideas, good news, and story tips on what's new and what's next in your world and community to jenny@secondwavemedia.com.
