Tune in to this week’s “50 CEOs on the D: Detroit Renaissance Reports” podcast with guests John Rakolta, Chairman and CEO of Walbridge, and Bob Fincano, Wayne County Executive. The two discuss with host Doug Rothwell the formation of the planned Aerotropolis and what it can mean for Detroit and Southeast Michigan.

The opportunities the Aerotropolis will bring mean substantial economic growth for the area, and added tax incentives make the venture attractive to outside investors and businesses.

“These incentives are important for the successful business attraction that we need in today’s economy,” says Rothwell, “This discussion serves as a great way to help understand just what level of job and industry growth that the Aerotropolis can help us accomplish.”

The Aerotropolis, which will serve as a transportation hub and bolster travel related industry could bring in over 64,000 jobs to the area and more than $10 Billion of economic activity and production.
