FEMA Corporation, with headquarters in Portage, MI is pleased to announce the ground breaking for a new facility located at 555 Washington Street in Otsego, MI. This 15 acre site will accommodate the construction of this 40,000 square foot facility and have potential for a total site plan of 150,000 square feet of manufacturing in the future.
