Can anyone share (or point to) the value proposition FIM put forward to earn this support? Was this support initiated by FIM or by Gov. Synder? Is there something unique to Michigan that means other regions couldn't hope for similar levels of government support?

1) Reach team density critical mass.
2) Optimise costs for teams.
