Detroit’s neighborhoods deserve strong retail corridors, quality amenities, and investment that meets residents’ needs. Under Mayor Mary Sheffield’s leadership, the City of Detroit is building a proactive retail attraction strategy and is looking for experienced leaders to drive this work — and retailers ready to grow in one of the country’s most dynamic markets.
