Flashpoint: Conversations about the growth of Downtown Detroit

Watch Flashpoint every Sunday at 10 a.m. on Local 4 News and Local 4+

DETROIT – We find ourselves this first weekend of spring a little cold, watching college hoops, and counting down to the next big event in Detroit -- the NFL Draft.

But with the draft comes conversations about the growth of Downtown Detroit, incubating smaller businesses, and retaining talent in the region. You can’t have those conversations about investment without major players, like Rocket Companies Chairman Dan Gilbert.

Dan had a candid Q&A this week at the Michigan Chronicle’s Pancakes and Politics event. You’ll hear from him and then our roundtable as we talk Detroit business.

Then, a big investment in kids across Detroit and the entire region. Christy McDonald heads down to Corktown for a conversation with Lisa Ford and Andrew Stein about the new Michigan Central Station Children’s Endowment campaign.

You can watch the March 24, 2024, episode of Flashpoint in the video player above.
