Crain’s Detroit Business is hosting a business forum on the topic of developing a Creative Corridor in downtown Detroit. The event takes place on Tuesday, November 3—Election Day—at downtown’s Double Tree Guest Suites.
This is an important discussion and quite timely given the day it takes place. I have watched carefully the candidates running for executive and legislative office in Detroit and I think the city will be well served by whoever ultimately wins leadership roles. There is a quality and caliber of emergent leadership in the city that has been absent for some years. Clearly Dave Bing is the favorite in the race but Tom Barrow has been quite effective in pushing into the public dialogue the value to the region when Detroit begins to recover—and the city WILL recover; albeit, it will be a different city. One more focused on earth friendly industries and concepts.
And it is for this reason that the Creative Corridor forum is an event of immense importance. Metro Detroit leaders have come to fully accept that it will be through a variety of creativity-based enterprises that the full recovery of the city and region will be able to commence in earnest.
