This legislation (HB 6564 – http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2009-2010/billintroduced/House/pdf/2010-HIB-6564.pdf) creates a permitting process such that the waters of the State of Michigan are protected and the development of offshore wind resources is enabled. Adopting this legislation now will give Michigan the opportunity to move ahead of other States in building both offshore wind supply chain businesses and Great Lakes offshore wind deployment and maintenance businesses.
