An asset for Detroit’s recovery

Upending the Basin rotationWith Detroit’s economic woes in national headlines it is significant that some of the city’s assets are, well…liquid.

Today, Great Lakes Echo and our partner, WKAR’s Current State public affairs program, launch a series of stories exploring the Detroit waterfront.  They are remarkable stories of recovery and promise.

They include a push to “daylight” the city’s ghost waters and soften its shoreline. They describe some of the best fishing in the world and report on efforts to repair longtime damage to an industrial riverfront.

These are important stories for a city struggling to remake itself. We’ll run one a week for the next five weeks.

As always, we appreciate your comments and your thoughts on a Detroit water renaissance.
