Strategic Staffing Solutions -- The Detroit provider of IT consulting, staffing and vendor-management programs plans to invest $7.3 million to open a new IT center. The project will create 802 new jobs, including 437 directly by the company. The MEDC estimates increased economic activity created by the project will create an additional 365 indirect jobs. Based on the MEDC’s recommendation, the MEGA board approved a state tax credit valued at $3.8 million over five years to help convince the company to expand in Michigan over a competing site in North Carolina. The city of Detroit is considering an abatement to support the project. More at http://strategicstaff.com.
