Michigan’s Sixth District is basically the southwest corner of Michigan, a square that goes from the lakeshore of Michigan to the outskirts of Battle Creek and the Indiana state line to just south of Holland and Grand Rapids. In many ways, this district is a microcosm of the country.

It is a diverse district with two urban centers, Kalamazoo and the Twin Cities of Benton Harbor-St. Joseph, as well as many rural communities. It has both a strong industrial base and a diverse farming community. Industrial work ranges from tool and die shops to pharmaceuticals, appliances to auto parts. Farms produce everything from asparagus to zucchini, milk to wine.

Southwest Michigan has a great deal to offer for business, education and visitors. I have compiled some links for you that might find helpful in getting to know this area. I hope that you will take full advantage of what this wonderful area has to offer.
