Stryker Instruments' $154 million Portage development clears final hurdle
Stryker cleared its final hurdle for its development plans with the Portage City Council and Planning Commission on Tuesday night. This included approval of "final engineering drawings, land division surveys, a height variance and vehicle access to Ramona Avenue..." This, from an article posted by MLive on the morning of 3/29/17. Link to the full

That same afternoon, seemingly discordant news also came from MLive that Stryker is "undergoing an organizational restructuring that will mean a loss of jobs for an undisclosed number of people at the medical technologies company." The link to that second article is

According to the company press release, this will include "limited reductions in our [Stryker's] workforce" and will have no bearing on the just-approved development plans. The company has also stated that they plan to hire an additional 100 people to help staff the new facility that will break ground soon.
