episode Rod Lockwood - Could a Freedom City save Detroit? cover

Description

A Michigan developer wants to transform Detroit’s Belle Isle into a privately funded special economic zone with its own tax structure, governance model, and economic rules. Could a Freedom City attract investment and revive one of America’s most challenged urban areas? Rod Lockwood is a developer and former chairman of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce board. He joins the show to discuss his proposal to turn Belle Isle into a special economic zone, why he believes lower taxes and fewer regulations could attract residents and businesses, and whether the Freedom City concept could become a model for urban revitalization across America.
