New Ann Arbor SPARK CEO Paul Krutko lays out job creation philosophy

Krutko, the new CEO of Ann Arbor SPARK, the region’s economic development group, said he believes in an "intentional" regional approach to boosting the economy. That includes encouraging a network of incubators, helping startup companies attract investment and strategically luring outside companies to expand locally.

Krutko said that "economic gardening" — which favors providing services to existing business and entrepreneurs instead of throwing expensive incentives at outside companies — is the best way to boost the economy.
