About this episode
What are Detroit's movers and shakers thinking and talking about?
We went to the 2025 Detroit Policy Conference on Thursday and have some highlights and thoughts.
- It'd cost $500 million per RenCen tower to convert them to residential, says GM and Bedrock. We discuss the details we learned yesterday on the Renaissance Center partial demolition and park plan.
- We need to connect Ann Arbor and Detroit better in multiple ways in order to compete nationally. What could that look like?
- Speaking of connections, everything needs to get connected better, along with our top research schools like the University of Michigan, Wayne State University and Michigan State.
