"Michigan officials this week awarded a $1 million business development grant to global footwear retailer Wolverine World Wide as it remakes its Rockford headquarters two years into a corporate turnaround plan.

The award will be given to Wolverine if it invests $9.1 million on its office renovations by fall 2027 and retains 750 jobs in Michigan.

The grant could support new jobs in the region, state officials said, though job creation is not mandatory. However, the state also says as many as 100 workers could be added to the headquarters."
