Welcome to the Great Lakes Bay Region

Asked us where are we from in Michigan and we'll point to our hand--the shape of Michigan.

The Great Lakes Bay Region represents the counties of Saginaw, Midland, Bay, Gratiot, and Isabella. It is home to cities like Saginaw, Midland, Bay City, Alma, and Mount Pleasant.

International businesses through corner mom-and-pop businesses to critical farming operations thrive in the region.

This region is home to more than half a million residents nestled among nine different rivers intertwined reaching out to the mighty Saginaw Bay in Lake Huron. Nearly a dozen public and private universites and community colleges dot the landscape with the highest concentrations of PhDs per capita in the United States.
