Coverage on this page runs across Detroit city hall and the Wayne County executive's office, Detroit Public Schools Community District and the automotive, health care and manufacturing employers that anchor the regional economy. From Midtown and Downtown to Corktown, Mexicantown and Greektown, neighborhood reporting extends through the city and into Oakland County and Macomb County where a story crosses the line. The Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Pistons together generate venue, franchise and public finance decisions that are consistently among the most prominent local government subjects in the region. Detroit's ongoing reinvestment in its downtown, riverfront and historic neighborhoods is the long-running urban development story that sits beneath most of the city's economic and planning coverage, alongside the automotive industry's transition to electric vehicles and what that shift means for regional manufacturing employment.
