partnership between Detroit Renaissance, the Detroit Regional Chamber,
New Detroit, the United Way of Southeast Michigan, the Detroit Metro
Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Cultural Alliance of
Southeastern Michigan.
Howse writes:
One D may not have an office or a budget, but it could symbolize a
long-overdue break with that past of civic timidity. Business and civic
leaders are more effective drivers of change than politicians, and
there’s no better time to move than when resources are tight, the
outlook is grim and some of the heavy lifting (think downtown
redevelopment post-Super Bowl XL) is already done.
