An interesting look at the way Duggan/his team will be going about attacking the jobless problem around here.


In the past, Detroit city officials worked to create jobs mainly as a consequence of big development projects, such as the new Meijer and Whole Foods groceries that opened last year in the city, or by attracting suburban employers to downtown, including Quicken Loans and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Lewand said the city will now take a greater hand in training unemployed workers for jobs.

“We’re focusing on jobs for Detroiters, not just economic development,” he said.

I'm glad someone has finally recognized you can't swing for the homerun every single time.

Megasites are nice but they can be found anywhere.

Manufacturing is never ever ever ever coming back.

-Also interesting that they might be getting Tiger Stadium developed soon.

-He can throw that future city plan right in the toilet, but hey not everyone is perfect.

Just an observation. Having just one month of Duggan v 4.5 years of Bing. Just what king of Quisling was that man? My destructive pigheaded short temper having 2 year old nephew couldn't have ran this city as bad as Bing did.
