Stardock Gets Mention In Governers Address

External Link
February 3, 2009 10:22:01 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Today in the Governers State of the State Address, Governer Grandholm gave a quick mention to Stardock.  You can read the whole speach in the link above, if you're interested, but here is what she said about Stardock.

"Tonight, I’m pleased to make three major announcements:  Wonderstruck Animation Studios will invest $86 million to build a new studio in Detroit; Stardock Systems, a digital gaming manufacturer, will build its production facilities in Plymouth; and Motown Motion Pictures will invest $54 million to build their new film studios at a former GM plant in Pontiac."

Thanks for keeping the jobs here in Michigan guys.

I for one hope Stardock gets the building done soon, freezing my little hoofies off sitting in the snow all day.
