COMSTOCK, MI — Michigan is offering $2.5 million to Landscape Forms, a Comstock Township manufacturer of custom outdoor furniture, which is planning a $70 million expansion that will add 125 jobs.

Landscape Forms, established in 1969, specializes in manufacturing custom outdoor furniture. “Landscape Forms has been a Michigan-based company since its inception over 55 years ago.  We value our partnership with the State of Michigan as the support provided was pivotal in our decision to expand our campus in Comstock Twp./Kalamazoo,” CEO Marjorie Simmons said in a release from the state. “The new state of the art, sustainable manufacturing facility will allow us to attract and retain top manufacturing talent in Michigan to support our future growth.”

The company plans to build a new, 30,000-square-foot facility adjacent to its current home at 7800 E. Michigan Ave. The Michigan Economic Development Corporation approved the $2.5 million grant on Tuesday, Dec. 10.

The $70 million building will expand manufacturing capacity in Michigan. The 125-plus new jobs will have wages starting above regional median wage.

Landscape Forms plans to break ground in the spring 2025 and be fully operational by early 2028.
