Team Peninsula's September Gathering
In September, members of Team Peninsula gathered for a discussion with Rick Koubek, president of Michigan Technological University.
Formed in 2018, Team Peninsula is a collection of volunteer leaders, business owners, and government representatives committed to tackling the region’s most pressing challenges. Issues involve things from housing and infrastructure to economic development, tourism, and talent retention.
These meetings serve as a roundtable discussion where members look at actionable strategies to enhance quality of life for residents in the Upper Peninsula.
This month’s discussion focused on Michigan Tech’s recent growth and success. Showcasing this achievement while growing the university is key to ensuring the Keweenaw stays a thriving place to live and work.
As Team Peninsula continues its work, the group remains dedicated to not only addressing local needs, but also educating and informing the public about the challenges and opportunities that shape the region’s future.
