Agenda

5th Annual Michigan Energy Fair: LEEC will be an exibitor at this years fair promoting product, engineering, service policies, technologies, and practices that are environmentally and economically sustainable. The show gives tools to the consumer to partnering with key stakeholders to connect businesses, government, and communities to increase use of renewable energy technologies. Previous years the Michigan Energy Fair was held at the Manistee County Fairgrounds in Onekam, Michigan. This year the location has been moved to Rock Financial Showplace in Novi, Michigan.
