Saginaw is the largest city in Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay Region, alongside Midland and Bay City, a manufacturing area that grew on lumber, sugar beets and automobiles. Dow, one of the world’s largest chemical companies, is headquartered in nearby Midland, and its operations and suppliers drive much of the region’s business travel. Saginaw itself is a center for automotive steering systems and other parts manufacturing, healthcare and agriculture, and Saginaw Valley State University sits between the three cities.
The region is about an hour and a half north of Detroit, and the drive up I-75 can be slow at rush hour and on summer weekends. MBS International Airport sits roughly between Saginaw, Midland and Bay City, so a private flight can serve meetings in all three in a single day. Visitors come for Frankenmuth, the Bavarian-themed town just south of Saginaw known for its chicken dinners and enormous Christmas store, Dow Gardens in Midland, the Japanese Cultural Center and the shores of Saginaw Bay.
