    The Economic Growth Institute is participating in a new initiative supporting downriver Detroit communities. The U.S. Economic Development Administration has awarded a $1.6 million grant to support the Downriver Riverfront Communities Economic Recovery Implementation Project. The grant will help the region invest in its communities and businesses as two coal plant sites are decommissioned.
