water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure; and
WHEREAS it is reasonable to anticipate that public health emergencies and the economic injury that
accompanies them, as in the case of COVID-19 at present, will continue to occur with some frequency and
potentially have nation-wide impact; and
WHEREAS it is known that disruptions to local economies and unanticipated need, coupled with the inability
to quickly produce necessary personal protection equipment, contributed to the severity of the COVID-19
pandemic in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS it is in the interest of Oakland County and its manufacturing base to be prepared to meet the
challenge of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and future emergencies; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Economic Development department has been working with Automation Alley
to establish the Oakland County PPE Resilience Program (also referred to as Project DIAMOnD Program); and
WHEREAS the program aims to enhance the emergency response readiness and general competitiveness of
Oakland County’s small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through the application of digital technologies known
as Industry 4.0; and

them re-train, re-organize, upskill, install and incorporate enabling technologies that will lay the foundation for
a standing “virtual stockpile"; and
WHEREAS Oakland County SMEs leveraging digital technologies will be agile and ready to convert
operations quickly in response to urgent demand while also enhancing their competitiveness in normal times;

2. Phase Two, which is funded by this resolution, addresses the chronic economic impacts
of the COVID-19 virus through grants of capital equipment, which equals 750 3D printers; and
WHEREAS American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) funding is appropriate to spend on the allocated cost

appropriates $15,000,000 in ARPA funds to Oakland County Economic Development for the proposed Project
DIAMOnD Phase II.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED expenditure of these funds is contingent upon successful completion of a

ITEM SUMMARY SHEET
DEPARTMENT SPONSORED BY
Economic Development William Miller III
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
This MR is for the second Phase of Project DIAMOnD (Distributed independent and Agile
Manufacturing oN Demand).
POLICY ANALYSIS
The resolution is seeking approval for the assignment of $15,000,000 in ARPA funds for future appropriation to the
proposed Distributed Independent and Agile Manufacturing On Demand (DIAMOnD) Phase II Project (Program). The
Program aims to enhance the emergency response readiness and general competitiveness of Oakland County’s (OC)
small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through the application of digital technologies known as Industry 4.0. The 4th
industrial revolution covers the application of technologies that include Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud
Computing, Internet of Things, Additive Manufacturing and more. The SMEs will be provided with services and resources
to help them re-train, re-organize, upskill, install and incorporate enabling technologies that will lay the foundation for a
standing “virtual stockpile”. Phase I was approved on July 2, 2020, for $10M, MR #20242.
The OC Economic Development department has been working with Automation Alley to establish the Oakland County
PPE Resilience Program (also referred to the DIAMOnD Project). The Program is planned to consist of two phases
comprised for the entirety of OC:
The successfully completed Project DIAMOnD Phase One, funded under the CARES Act, distributed 250 3D
printers, addressing the acute economic impact driven by the COVID-19 virus.
2. Phase Two, which is funded by this resolution, addresses the chronic economic impacts of the COVID-19
virus through grants of capital equipment, which equals 750 3D printers.
The OC Economic Development Department will look for and apply for any other appropriate sources of federal and
state funds that could be utilized to offset some or all of the $15,000,000 in County ARPA-funded costs. Once
approved, the appropriation of ARPA – Local Recovery Funds shall not obligate a commitment of General Funds;
Project DIAMOnD shall meet all federal, state, and local legal requirements, Oakland County policies and procedures,
and Department of Treasury guidelines for the eligible expenditure of ARPA – Local Recovery Funds. A budget
amendment is not required.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: No

How did PDPII develop as a proposal?
Why Project Diamond Phase II?
Project Diamond was an initiative that was born out
of the COVID pandemic.
Oakland County asked Automation Alley for an idea
that would:
•Embrace industry 4.0 theories and put them into
practice
•Assist Oakland County’s 2,600+ manufacturers
in becoming more resilient and responsive to
future local and national crisis
•Help mitigate supply chain issues and long lead
time for critical supplies
•Build a sustainable platform where SMEs could
compete and look to reshore manufacturing
Project DIAMOnD Phase I was a success
•During pandemic, dispersed 250 3D printers
•Michigan Works! and Project DIAMOnD partnered to
train 23 companies and 47 workers
•Project DIAMOnD Network recently printed
tourniquets to aid Ukrainian defense efforts
•Project DIAMOnD companies working with National
Guard to manufacture parts
Air and Liquid Systems (Rochester Hills)
Why Project Diamond Phase II?
PD Phase I Locations

Expected Impact of Project
DIAMOnD -Phase II
•Can help address supply chain issues –
reshoring
•Additive Manufacturing could create
10,000-32,000 new skilled jobs in
Oakland County
•10,000 new skilled jobs would result in
14,777 spin-off jobs (retail, etc.) =
Tax Base $25.1M
•3DP could on-shore $600B
Impact of Inaction
•Since 2001, manufacturing in OC declined 17.4% and manufacturing
jobs declined 38.0%
•1997-2016, foreign sourcing of parts for domestic car manufacturing
rose 10% to 15%
•Peer countries meet 80-90%domestic demand with regional
production. US meets only 70% domestic demand.
•Since 1990, manufacturers with more than $1 billion in assets had
seen revenues grow by more than 2% annually, while small and
medium-size manufacturers posted negative growth
•These trends, which were mirrored in other industries (and other
advanced economies), either squeezed smaller suppliers out
altogether or forced them into relentless price competition
Conclusion
•The adoption of 3D printing will:
•attract investment (incl. manufacturing)
•create robust new markets
•ensure leadership and prosperity in the 4th Industrial Revolution and beyond
•Public and private-sector resolve to shore up the manufacturing sector that has long
been an important pillar of the economy
•Ph. II combined with technology and market opportunities offers rare chance to change
the existing downward trajectory for manufacturing
•The direct and indirect effects could boost Oakland County Manufacturing GDP from
$13B to $21.7B while adding 10,000 to 32,000 jobs
•Oakland County has opportunity to help our companies with economic recovery,
inclusive growth, resilience, and capabilities of the future
