Michigan's Sense (and Cents) of Place


By John Bebow - October 24, 2007

"We're never going to win the cheap game," Dan Gilmartin, tells the Free Press. "Too often, we try to recreate yesterday. Our laws and abatements are set up to go out and capture plants, but that's not how we're going to rebuild Detroit or Michigan. Knowledge-based jobs are driving the new economy, and vibrant communities attract and retain those workers."

Gilmartin's comments highlight a provocative Freep column about Michigan's future sense of place and the outdated ways in which we invest in place.
