Hello, and welcome back to your Daily Detroit Podcast.
On this show, we dive deep into the stories that shape Detroit and Michigan – from the future of the auto industry and fun places to find food, to the development happening around our region, transit, and the debates over how we're building our future.
Today, we're tackling a topic that intersects all much of this: environmental policy and its impact on our economy and quality of life. For this episode on Wednesday, June 25, 205 - I sat down with Phil Roos, the Director of Eagle, the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy for the state of Michigan, to talk about how Michigan is transforming brownfields, protecting the Great Lakes, and facing some tough choices about environmental funding.
