Hi-Tech and Trampolines  Coming to Westland
Westland, MI - The City of Westland and its business community will have a busy month of Grand Openings in December, as two major businesses are opening their doors in Westland.

The new businesses include Online Tech Data Center and Air Time Trampoline and Game Park. 

"These Grand Openings are a great way to close out a strong year of business growth in Westland," said Mayor William R. Wild. "Our city's business friendly approach, our great residents, and the central location are all contributing factors as to why businesses large and small want to come to our All-American City." 

Online Tech, which is open for business, is a Michigan-based company and is investing $10 million into its new Westland Data Center, which is its fourth in Michigan and its fifth nationwide. The company provides businesses with secure, compliant cloud computing and offsite backup and disaster recovery services. Online Tech opened its doors 20 years ago and serves businesses of all sizes, from community start-ups to Fortune 500s. Online Tech will create at least 15 jobs by opening their location in Westland.

Air Time Trampoline Game Park, which is hosting a ribbon cutting on Thursday, December 11 at 4:00 p.m., is another Michigan-based company with two other locations in Troy and Sterling Heights. The company provides trampoline-based games and activities for customers of all ages, from children's groups, to family events, to other groups and organizations looking to have a fun, out-of-the-ordinary event. Their $2 million investment into their Westland location will also create 75 jobs.
