What gets lost too often is that economic development is about bringing jobs and opportunity to your home region. That's a good a thing and something we need more of!

The fine people at the Detroit Regional Partnership get that.

Check out their 2020-2024 report, which shows in five short years they've gone from concept to a best-in-class organization that's helped attract 36,500+ jobs and $9.4B in investment to the Detroit Region. Glad to support such an important mission.

"State of the ________ " speeches are tough to pull off. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has made them an art form. One of the more impressive headlines in a wave of them in the speech is the Detroit Promise Scholarship, which offers a tuition-free path to college for Detroit High School graduates.
