Growing and keeping people and companies in Metro Detroit (ft. Brad Williams, Detroit Regional Chamber)

Brad Williams from the Detroit Regional Chamber joins us to talk about a number of policy and community issues facing Metro Detroit this year — the progress made; and where work still needs to be done.

Recorded at the Mackinac Policy Conference, this episode is brought to you by our supporter Jerry Mangona.

Some of the topics we hit:

Retaining and growing industries, including automotive, in Michigan and Metro Detroit Attracting top talent and what that takes How different generations approach work, including that half of metro Detroiters under 30 have changed jobs in the last two years Helping relieve supply chain issues by treating drivers better Importance of the Defense industry in Macomb County The SMART millage and the importance of supporting it The importance of expanding FAST routes before looking at a bigger transit plan Support the show by:
