On Tuesday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) approval for the project, which will receive a $1.28 million Michigan Business Development Program grant.

Northland was founded in Greenville in 1892. The company says it is the longest-standing refrigeration company in North America and the fifth-largest employer in Greenville.

The jobs will fill a gap in employment opportunities for Montcalm County residents at early stages in their careers.

In a statement, Governor Whitmer said, "By retaining a longstanding manufacturer in Greenville, we can protect an economic engine of Montcalm County, supporting long-term growth."
