Michael Finney, the Ann Arbor region’s economic development leader, will help map out economic development strategy as a key member of Governor-elect Rick Snyder’s transition team, Snyder announced today.
The appointment, first reported this morning by AnnArbor.com, marks the second time Snyder has personally recruited Finney to direct an economic development initiative. Snyder, an Ann Arbor venture capitalist who will become Michigan’s 48th governor on Jan. 1, co-founded Ann Arbor SPARK in 2005 and then convinced Finney to become the group’s first president and CEO.
Finney is widely considered a possible candidate to become the next CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., but that’s just speculation at this point, Snyder spokesman Bill Nowling said.
