The Detroit Regional Partnership (DRP) requests funds to expand its three core areas of impact—data-driven economic development , regional and global marketing, and creating a more competitive environment for business investment. Specifically, these funds will be used to develop a regionally aligned, comprehensive economic development vision and strategy; produce original research that identifies emerging high-growth sectors such as AI, Defense, Advanced Mobility, and Automation & Robotics Technologies; and execute a unified regional marketing campaign to attract global business investment. The funds will also advance industrial site readiness by expanding the inventory of development-ready locations and equipping local municipalities with tools and best practices to manage modern economic growth in ways that align with community priorities. This appropriation provides a clear public benefit by creating high-quality jobs, strengthening local economies, and increasing the tax base that supports schools, infrastructure, and public spaces. The initiative ensures that economic development aligns with resident vision, promotes transparency in the use of public resources, and does not violate Article IV, Section 30 of the Michigan Constitution, as it supports a legitimate public purpose and serves the broader interests of communities across the state.
