The award was presented during a special ceremony to the Caster Concepts team on August 27, 2010 by U.S. Representative Mark Schauer.

During his presentation, Schauer commented on the tremendous leadership provided by the combined groups and the teamwork exhibited by Caster Concepts to bring federal dollars to the mid-Michigan area.

this business.”
