MEDC CEO Mark Burton to co-lead Honigman s economic development practice
Mark Burton
After a year of economic upheaval, Michigan Economic Development Corp. CEO Mark Burton is leaving the quasi-governmental agency to become a partner and co-leader of Honigman LLP s economic development incentives group.
Burton, a longtime adviser and confidant to Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, left the governor s office last March to lead the MEDC on what was initially going to be a seven-month interim assignment while a new leader for the agency could be identified. But my first week here, the pandemic hit, Burton told Crain s. The second week, everybody went home for remote work. The nature of the crisis obviously dramatically changed what the expectation was.
