Economic Development Responsibility Alliance
From Big Rapids' Gotion plant to the Mundy Megasite, we're Michiganders fighting to protect our farmland and watersheds.
We are a grassroots alliance of stewards of our land and water, united in our purpose to hold captured regulatory agencies accountable and to stop corrupt deals by taxpayer-funded economic development corporations from destroying our communities, our wild spaces, and our water so that a few may profit.
As Michiganders, we are stewards of the Great Lakes watershed–our nation’s most precious natural resource. our highest priority is preserving this incredible heritage, for generations to come.

The Regenerative Agriculture MEgasite
A proposal for alternative economic development
What kinds of development do Michigan’s communities want to see instead of heavy industrial and energy projects? We’ve answered that question in our report, the Case for the Regenerative Agriculture Megasite in Michigan.
Are you folks against Green Energy?
No. We're actually trying to save the planet's last green spaces.
We here in Marshall, and Big Rapids, and other rural Michigan communities facing similar projects are stewards for not just some of the richest agricultural land in the world, but also for the Lake Michigan watershed–which is this nation’s most precious, and most valuable, natural resource.
To propose to build a 1,900 acre EV megasite along the banks of the Kalamazoo River, or to doze a wetlands a few football fields away from the Muskegon River to build an EV battery plant that sucks up over 715,000 gallons of water per day, and to tell us that it’s because it’s GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT is just gaslighting.
This isn’t “Green”. This is an environmental catastrophe.
