So where are we with things? How is this all impacting – or will impact as it goes on – the Detroit region? What about electric vehicles? Where do we stand? Just how important are the automakers and workers to the local economy, and suppliers, too? There are a lot of questions and to shine some he...

There’s an inconvenient fact: Downtown Detroit needs more people to provide some of the things that people seem to be clamoring for, and be an economic engine to help the rest of the city.

The pandemic has shaken things up – and we have to adapt to grow....
