On Tuesday, a ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the lease of the first building at the new Flint Commerce Center at the former Buick City site, now home to Victory Packaging and Bunzl Distribution—bringing over 100 jobs to the area.

Gov. Whitmer launched the 'Ticket to Tuition' sweepstakes yesterday where first-time FAFSA filers can win one of forty $10,000 prizes or one of ten $50,000 prizes — she said filling out the FAFSA helps unlock college aid and lower education costs.
