JACKSON, Mich., July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Consumers Energy's
ongoing "Growing Forward" business strategy includes promoting small town
and rural development through a new section on the home page of the
utility's website: http://www.consumersenergy.com .
The focus of the website information and Consumers Energy's
relationship with small towns is to encourage rural leaders to take action
to help shape their community's future. Consumers Energy provides electric
and natural gas service in all 68 counties in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
"We emphasize that we all want the future to be of our choosing and not
something that happens to us," said Allan Hooper, economic development
director for Consumers Energy. Hooper, who designed outreach programs to
encourage small town development, is available to meet with community
leaders on economic development strategies and tactics. More information is
available by contacting Consumers Energy at:

use by community leaders for economic retention and development. In
addition, the section provides comprehensive economic development services,
including quick- link information for business managers on site selection,
local incentive packages, community information and profiles, energy rate
information, and business and market evaluations.
