The 30-second brief
85 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Kalamazoo Resa's meetings, most in education & training and insurance. The latest, from Oct 20: KRESA reported that the West Michigan Health Insurance Pool (WMHIP) renewal will increase premiums by 11.9% for 2027. Because the State's PA 152 hard cap only rose 3%, employees will absorb the balance through higher paycheck deductions and HSA contributions. This is an incumbent renewal signal for benefits administration and insurance brokerage support tied to the 2027 plan year.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Grants and Education & Training.
