About this grant
This grant will provide funds for Michigan State University to undertake a feasibility analysis of locating a Michigan State University Dairy Store outlet and retail space in downtown Flint. Downtown Flint has many existing retail, restaurant and bar businesses, but fewer with family offerings. The Michigan State University Dairy Store would diversify the existing mixture of food offerings by adding ice cream and contribute to the economic success of downtown Flint by attracting new visitors. The scope of study will assess the economic, market, technical, financial and management feasibility of locating a store in downtown Flint.
