Lewis Pacesetter Award for for increases in international cargo tonnage shipped through their ports during the navigation season: Port of Cleveland (Ohio), Conneaut Port Authority (Ohio), Illinois International Port District (Chicago), Port of Duluth-Superior (Minnesota), Lorain Port and Unlike congested port regions elsewhere, the St. Lawrence Seaway is the shipping corridor with room to grow. by ADAM BRUNS D Critical PORTS OF CALL GatewayGREAT LAKES INVESTMENT GUIDE 2025 29 Finance Authority (Ohio), Port Milwaukee (Wisconsin), and Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority (Ohio). at just tracks the U.S. side. e Ontario- based St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC) in early reported that million metric tons of goods (led by grain and potash) had been shipped via the Seaway during a record -day navigation season. Since deep-draft navigation began in , more than . billion tons of cargo (estimated at $ billion) have moved to and from Canada, the United States and more than other nations along the Seaway’s , nautical miles between the Atlantic Ocean and the Port of Duluth-Superior. I recently checked in with the leaders of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation and SLSMC — agencies known for their binational collaboration — for insights into port and infrastructure news along this vital marine highway to the world. WHERE DO YOU SEE IMPROVEMENTS TO SEAWAY INFRASTRUCTURE AND PORTS PRODUCING NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMPANIES TO LOCATE FACILITIES AND PROSPER FROM THE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES THE SEAWAY OFFERS? JIM ATHANASIOU, PRESIDENT AND CEO, ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY MANAGEMENT CORPORATION: Our focus is on building capacity and keeping the system reliable for industry. e St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation is investing [C]$ million over three years in infrastructure upgrades to ensure the Seaway remains a strong and dependable corridor for supply chains. Innovation is central to that work. We’re advancing automation and digital technologies across our locks and operations to improve effi ciency, safety, and resilience. at includes systems that help us manage traffi c and maintenance planning, and the Vessel Information System (VIS), which leverages shared data to improve planning and coordination among system stakeholders. Hands-free mooring is another milestone.

As Administrator, my priorities include ensuring safe and efficient lock operations, supporting infrastructure investments that enhance reliability, and promoting maritime trade opportunities — especially for U.S. exports. I’m also focused on deepening partnerships with industry, advancing workforce development and showcasing the Seaway’s value as a critical gateway for international shipping and regional prosperity. Looking ahead, one of the most promising opportunities is expanding container shipping on the Great Lakes. By the 2026 season, four U.S. ports — Cleveland, Duluth, Monroe and Burns Harbor — will have CBP-cleared container service, adding redundancy to the supply chain and diversifying cargo movements within the Seaway. DESCRIBE A PARTICULAR INSTANCE IN RECENT MONTHS WHEN YOU AND YOUR TEAM WERE INVOLVED IN RESPONDING TO A COMPANY’S SITE SELECTION INQUIRY. JIM ATHANASIOU: Our real estate and market development teams regularly respond to — and welcome — inquiries from companies and investors about potential developments. At present, we have a number of potential projects in the pre-development stage with prospective tenants. These projects focus on marine-enabling industry along our canals that would create investment, jobs and other economic benefits at the local level. When we engage with prospective tenants, our focus is on projects that create lasting value. We look for developments that strengthen supply chains, bring investment into local communities and make full use of multimodal access. We want to be a conduit to help companies invest and grow while bringing real value to the communities around them. MIKE MCCOSHEN: If there is one constant in our site selection engagement, it is the desire for strong, multi-modal connectivity that will support the supply chain requirements of the prospective investor. WHAT WOULD YOU DESCRIBE AS SOME LESSER KNOWN OR OVERLOOKED ASSETS AND ADVANTAGES THE SEAWAY AND ITS COMMUNITIES BRING TO THE TABLE WHEN IT COMES TO OPTIMUM LOCATIONS FOR CERTAIN INDUSTRY SECTORS? JIM ATHANASIOU: The Seaway’s primary mission is to ensure the safe and efficient movement of marine traffic. A little-known fact about the Seaway is that we are involved in clean power generation. One overlooked advantage is that the Seaway still has “ The Seaway still has room to grow. At a time when highways, border crossings and coastal gateways are increasingly congested, our system offers an uncongested, reliable marine corridor into the heartland of North America. ” — Jim Athanasiou, President and CEO, St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation A vessel leaves the Eisenhower Lock near Massena, New York.

At a time when highways, border crossings and coastal gateways are increasingly congested, our system offers an uncongested, reliable marine corridor into the heartland of North America. That gives industries moving bulk commodities, oversized project cargo or energy transition materials a clear edge. MIKE MCCOSHEN: Optimum sites within the region are not limited to our ports and terminals. Each of our ports is a multimodal hub for regional connectivity through their road and rail networks. Great Lakes supply chains run through our ports and terminals — expanding the Seaway’s reach to access sites located well inland. This multi-modal connectivity through our ports is the value that the Seaway provides to companies located in the Great Lakes region. GLS is working with our stakeholders to further strengthen these regional supply chains to support critical sectors including manufacturing, construction, agriculture and energy. IN A TIME WHEN U.S.- CANADA RELATIONS ARE FRAUGHT, DESCRIBE HOW YOU WORK WITH YOUR COUNTERPARTS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BORDER FOR THE GOOD OF ALL PARTIES, INCLUDING COMMUNITIES AND EMPLOYERS ON BOTH SIDES. JIM ATHANASIOU: The Seaway has always been managed as a model of cross- border cooperation. Our partnership with the U.S. Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (GLS) allows us to deliver consistent service across the system. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the newly appointed GLS Administrator, Mike McCoshen. He brings more than 45 years of experience in maritime transportation. He knows the Great Lakes inside and out, and his leadership is a real asset for the system. We share a commitment to customer service so the Seaway functions as one integrated corridor. That cooperation has always defined our success, and it’ll continue to create opportunities for industry and communities on both sides of the border. MIKE MCCOSHEN: From coordinated lock operations to infrastructure planning and vessel traffic communications, GLS works closely with our Canadian counterparts at the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC), and our teams operate as one integrated system. This cross-border coordination is essential as a ship will cross the border 27 times while transiting the Seaway. I am fully committed to continuing to strengthen this partnership — ensuring the Seaway remains the smart choice for shippers. “ Cross-border coordination is essential as a ship will cross the border 27 times while transiting the Seaway.

Photos courtesy of FordMotor Co. The Great Lakes Are the Globe’s AUTOMOTIVE HOMETOWN he Great Lakes region may be named for its bodies of water. But it’s best known for its body of work. No economic sector better illustrates that work than the automotive industry. The numbers tell the story: Across the eight U.S. states and two Canadian provinces that comprise the Great Lakes region of North America, Site Selection magazine’s Conway Projects Database has tracked 647 major automotive facility investment projects since January 2020. Michigan (161 projects) and Ohio (151) are the far-and-away leaders, followed by Indiana (99), Illinois (88) and Ontario (63). More impressive? These 10 territories overall welcomed nearly 38% of all automotive facility investments in North America over that span of time and 24% of all automotive projects in the world ... yes, in the world. So it only makes sense that two of the former Big Three — General Motors and Ford Motor Co. — are demonstrating their devotion to their origins with investments devoted to new headquarters, which some might call quarters for the smartest heads in the business. FORD MOTOR COMPANY The 122-year-old automaker will open a new 2.1-million-sq.-ft. Ford World Headquarters in November 2025, moving from its famous “Glass House” building into a new structure it says “anchors Ford’s refreshed Dearborn, Michigan, campus, bringing cross-functional teams together to collaborate in practice and proximity. This ushers in a new way of working in the name of the next generation of automotive innovation.” The company’s new home, with more than 100,000 sq. ft. of interior courtyard space, is more than twice the size of the Glass House and supports twice the number of employees. Among key aspects: “Any Ford employee can access collaboration space at the new building, which brings cross-functional teams together through three main types of spaces: Workplace, Amenities, and Unique Programming (Design Studios, Showroom, Fabrication Shops, and Garages) to support different working styles.” A Design Showroom with 10 turntables enables Ford to conduct a full product review in one unified space for the first time. “When the building is complete, 14,000 by ADAM BRUNS TGREAT LAKES INVESTMENT GUIDE 2025 33 employees will be within a 15-minute walk, enabling collaboration in practice and proximity.” “The building enables free movement of products, as it can accommodate a vehicle almost anywhere. Vertically-stacked layout reduces material movement time by more than 80% compared to the previous Product Development Center, a result of a two-year study leading to the final design of the building.” “Workspaces are available throughout the building for employees, regardless of their assigned office, enabling collaboration across the Dearborn campus.” In a letter to all employees delivered on September 15, 2025, Executive Chair Bill Ford and CEO Jim Farley wrote, “This is part of a larger investment in our people and our facilities across the globe. We are committed to providing employees with world-class workspaces, modern technology, and the best tools to do their life’s best work — from our global offices to our manufacturing floors … For nearly 70 years, the iconic Glass House served as the nerve center of our global operations and we honor its incredible legacy. But the future of our industry demands a different kind of space — one that is more connected, more flexible and built for the speed of a technology- and software-driven company.” At GM, CEO Mary Barra offers a similar message as the automaker moves into a gleaming new office building in the heart of downtown Detroit while it vacates the Renaissance Center. GENERAL MOTORS “When you want to recruit executive talent, it’s tough to sell innovators on working in literally a 50-year-old silo,” wrote Automotive News about General Motors’ current HQ in the 1970s-era Renaissance Center. Hence GM’s announcement in April 2024 that it would move into a new global headquarters anchoring Bedrock’s 1.5-million- sq.-ft. Hudson’s Detroit development located in downtown Detroit on the historic site of the former J.L. Hudson Department Store. GM now has entered into an initial 15-year lease for the top floors of the office building as well as street-level showcase space for GM vehicles and community activations. It’s the company’s fourth headquarters location in the city over the past 114 years, returning to the same street, Woodward Avenue, where it established its first HQ in the city. And just as Ford is working with the City of Dearborn on what to do with the Glass House, GM is working with the City of Detroit, Wayne County and Bedrock to explore redevelopment opportunities for the Renaissance Center site. “We are proud to remain in the city of Detroit in a modern office building that fits the evolving needs of our workforce, right in the heart of Company State County City Metro Investment (Million USD) Jobs Created General Motors Company Michigan Oakland Orion Township Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI 4,000.0 Honda Motor Co., Ltd.

We are thrilled to be a significant part of the historic Hudson’s project and also look forward to working with them to explore new ideas and opportunities for the Renaissance Center site and the riverfront.” “In my time as mayor, I am proud that our team has worked together with GM and Bedrock to build on the city’s revitalization. Hudson’s Detroit marks a significant development in the city and returns an iconic name back to where it belongs,” said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. “GM, meanwhile, is already building EVs at its Factory ZERO plant, located here in Detroit. I am equally excited to see what these two great companies imagine when it comes to the future redevelopment of the Renaissance Center.” GM invested $2.2 billion in Factory ZERO (formerly the Detroit- Hamtramck Assembly Center) in November 2020 for retooling and upgrades to build a number of Ultium-powered EVs. The plant, which today employs nearly 4,000 people, was first built in 1985 and has manufactured over 3 million vehicles, GM says. One of the company’s two Ultium Cells battery plants is in Warren, Ohio. Summer 2025 saw the company announce plans to invest about $4 billion over the next two years in its domestic manufacturing plants to increase U.S. production of both gas and electric vehicles, including investments in Kansas and Tennessee as well as at its Orion Assembly plant in Michigan and an $888 million investment near Buffalo, New York, to support GM’s next- gen V-8 engine. In September 2025, the company celebrated 117 years in business as the State of Michigan officially declared it to be “GM Day.” “Today, we have 38 facilities, 210 dealers in our network, and we work with over 1,000 tier-one suppliers GM is moving its HQ from the Renaissance Center to a new office building that is part of the 1.5-million-sq.-ft. Hudson’s Detroit development from Dan Gilbert’s Bedrock. It stands on the site of the original Hudson’s department store that opened in 1891. Images courtesy of GM In the 17-county area of Northwest Ohio alone, some 230 automotive manufacturing facilities account for nearly 44,000 jobs, or one out of every 11 private-sector jobs in the region. Source: Center for Automotive Research and Center to Advance Manufacturing, January 2025 with locations across the state,” the company said of its Michigan portfolio, part of a network of 50 U.S. manufacturing plants and parts facilities in 19 states. “GM is the largest automotive employer in Michigan — the automotive capital of the world — with about 50,000 employees. We’re not just building vehicles, we’re helping to support the futures of tens of thousands of Michiganders.” THE U.S.-CANADA CONNECTION In September, Invest Ontario announced it is supporting a C$1 billion-plus investment by Linamar Corporation spanning six projects in Ontario and creating more than 2,300 jobs in a province that’s home to more than 20,000 advanced manufacturing firms and more than 800,000 manufacturing workers. “Out of the 75 manufacturing facilities around the world, our Canadian operations are our most productive,” said Linamar President and CEO Linda Hasenfratz in a film produced with Invest Ontario about the announcement. “It’s a big reason why they’re winning so much business … Nearly 10,000 employees right here in Ontario who live and breathe continuous improvement and innovation every single day. They set the standard for our global operations.” Linamar’s employees are part of more than 100,000 workers directly employed by Ontario’s automotive sector, which includes more than 400 companies engaged in connected and autonomous development and smart mobility backed by 36 automotive- focused programs at Ontario colleges and universities. The only subnational jurisdiction in North America to have five major automotive assemblers (Ford, GM, Honda, Stellantis and Toyota), Ontario in 2023 welcomed Volkswagen Group-owned battery company PowerCo’s choice of the province to build its first battery cell factory in North America. And Ontario is at the heart of the all-Canadian Project Arrow EV concept car. emiconductor investment in the U.S. has been on a rapid upswing since passage of the CHIPS Act and its Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit in . Analysis from the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) in July notes that more than $ billion has been invested in U.S. semiconductor industry facilities since — more than projects across states, including nearly two dozen across New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. From semiconductors, packaging and equipment to materials, chip design and R&D the U.S. Great Lakes states are more than well represented in SIA’s tally of recent semiconductor-related projects. Michigan alone claims four advanced materials projects, including $ million in direct funding for a new facility on Hemlock Semiconductor’s campus in Hemlock for production of hyper- pure semiconductor-grade polysilicon. Advanced materials manufacturer Mersen USA is expanding in Bay City and Greenville, with support from the Michigan Strategic Fund. e $ . million project is expected to create jobs in semiconductor and silicon chip materials manufacturing.

Corning recently expanded two Monroe County sites as well. CHIPS funding also is facilitating Micron’s 20-year plan to invest roughly $100 billion in its advanced memory semiconductor operations in New York. In Clay, north of Syracuse, Micron New York Semiconductor Manufacturing LLC is constructing two high-volume manufacturing (HVM) fabs of a planned four-fab “megafab” focused on leading-edge DRAM chip production, according to a National Institute of Standards and Technology project summary. “Each fab will have 600,000 square feet of cleanrooms,” it notes, “totaling 2.4 million square feet of cleanroom space across the four facilities — the largest amount of cleanroom space ever announced in the United States and the size of nearly 40 football fields.” AN ‘ENERGIZED ECOSYSTEM’ Quebec and Ontario are home to the bulk of Canada’s semiconductor ecosystem with clusters of companies in Bromont, Montreal and Sherbrooke in Québec, and the Toronto metro, Ottawa and Waterloo in Ontario, among other locations. Twelve semiconductor-related projects in Quebec and five in Ontario were among 20 FABrIC Challenge Projects awarded a combined C$13.4 million in June from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) Strategic Innovation Fund aimed at improving conditions for investment and increasing Canada’s share of global trade. FABrIC is a five-year, $223 million project to secure Canada’s future in semiconductors. Quebec companies set for FABrIC funds include Boréas Technologies Inc. and Digitho Technologies in Bromont, Qubic Inc. in Sherbrooke and Axonal Networks Inc. in Montreal. Ontario-based recipients include Edgewater Wireless Systems and PROVA Innovations Ltd. in Ancaste and ISPCI Corp. and MMSENSE Technologies in Waterloo. “FABrIC will lower barriers faced by Canadian companies to develop semiconductor manufacturing processes, to create semiconductor Internet-connected products and services (IoT), and to export into a global market,” according to its mission statement. “The Canadian semiconductor ecosystem is energized,” said Lynn McNeil, vice president of FABrIC, announcing the project recipients. “Semiconductors are embedded in almost every aspect of daily life and the sectors that power our economy depend on them,” she continued. “From sensors that detect subtle but significant health changes to complex hardware accelerators and optimized chips that run increasingly complex AI algorithms, semiconductor technology is crucial. “The semiconductor supply chain is one of the world’s largest and most complicated,” she added. “It draws on highly specialized materials, components, manufacturing equipment, expertise and processes to design, fabricate, assemble, package and test finished chips. Our expertise in photonics, MEMS, compound semiconductors and quantum technology gives Canada the opportunity to be a significant player in this global supply chain.” FABrIC is about more than supporting individual companies, noted McNeill. “It is creating a strong, collaborative, national semiconductor ecosystem that supports innovation and competitiveness in all the traditional industries the Canadian economy relies on. The projects announced today will see industry and universities work in partnership to develop new products and processes, and to train and develop skilled professionals that industry needs to succeed in competitive markets.” IBM’S BROMONT BOOST In April 2024, IBM, the federal government and the Province of Quebec announced an agreement to invest approximately $187 million to “further develop the assembly, testing and packaging (ATP) capabilities for semiconductor modules to be used across a wide range of applications including telecommunications, high performance computing, automotive, aerospace & defense, computer networks, and generative AI at IBM Canada’s plant in Bromont, Quebec,” according to an IBM release. “With the demand for compute surging in the age of AI, advanced packaging and chiplet technology is becoming critical for the acceleration of AI workloads,” said IBM Senior Vice President and Director of Research Darío Gil. “As one of the largest chip assembly and testing facilities in North America, IBM’s Bromont facility will play a central role in this future. We are proud to be working with the governments of Canada and Quebec toward those goals and to build a stronger and more balanced semiconductor ecosystem in North America and beyond.” QUALITY OF LIFE Sails and smiles over Lake Superior in Thunder Bay Photo © Destination Ontario W GREAT LAKES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GUIDE 37 ith high marks in livability and business growth, the Great Lakes have much to off er those seeking an excellent way of living.
