Economic Empowerment
WHY WE ARE DOING IT
For Detroit to truly build and sustain a strong economy, we have to invest in our existing residents with small business supports, while attracting new jobs that provide higher-paying wages. In almost every Department, we have to reduce red tape and make it easier to do business in Detroit. This is exactly what first established Detroit as a Destination City, where families from all over the world came to thrive and to stay for generations after.
WHAT WE WILL DO
We will ensure that Detroit will be the leader in small business development, will attract world-class companies and jobs, and will be a place where legacy Detroiters can be empowered to succeed by:
Bringing higher livable wage jobs to Detroit and providing workforce development for current residents.
Reducing the red tape that makes it more difficult to open a business in Detroit
Making Detroit the #1 city in the nation to start and grow a small business
