Carhartt, the trendy worker-apparel retailer based in Detroit, is taking advantage of a nearly $1 million performance-based grant from the Michigan Business Development Program to help fund the hiring of 125 workers at its Dearborn, Michigan facility. The company is planning a $4.65 million capital investment improvement to the campus, as well. Carhartt management had been considering instead hiring workers in Mexico or at its facilities in Kentucky.
