A new spin-off project of GLGI has emerged this summer and we are tentatively calling it the Green Garage. Think "silicon valley garage" focused on building world class skills for the "green collar" jobs and sustainability-based service and product businesses of the future. It will link the next generation of this region to what will likely be the most important work of their generation...that is, making our way of life more sustainable. This work is already becoming the fastest growing sector of every business segment today from green power, to organic foods, to clean water, to, yes, hybrid cars. Detroit, and Michigan, need to be a part of this. We think this is how we attract and retain the best and brightest to our region. We want to do our part to help.

We have purchased a great old building in the Midtown area of Detroit, Michigan. This building is currently being used as a warehouse, but in the 1920's it was a showroom for Model T-based automobiles, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Over the next year, we are planning on doing an green renovation of it, while keeping true to its historic origins. The Green Garage Project will launch in September 2008.
