The MoveDetroit coalition launched 'Make Detroit Home,' offering up to $15,000 to entrepreneurs, creatives and small business owners willing to relocate. Over 300 participants will split more than $500,000 in benefits covering home down payments, renovations, rent, or business expenses.
Good urbanism should transcend politics. Socialists and capitalists can walk the same neighborhood and agree it's a pleasant place to live. They can each appreciate the tree canopy, the corner café with people spilling onto the sidewalk, the mix of ages on bikes and on foot, the architectural details of older buildings, and so on.
Through Community Facilities Districts (CFD), Municipal Utility Districts (MUD), Public Improvement Districts (PID), Community Development Districts (CDD) and reimbursement districts (RD), builders can potentially shift infrastructure costs off their balance sheets and onto special districts that homebuyers ultimately absorb through property taxes without potentially adding debt to the builder's books.
The Board believes Texas legislators, judges, and juries who might make decisions that impact Exxon Mobil are generally more familiar with our business and operations. A new Texas law makes it harder for shareholders to sue companies by requiring a minimum stock ownership to file lawsuits, providing legal protection that serves as the real draw for redomiciliation.
The new headquarters at 226 Schilling Circle, Suite 300, provides roughly 20,000 square feet of workspace, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a cafe, and expanded conference and breakout areas. 'After 19 years in Sparks, we needed a headquarters built for how we work today and where we're headed tomorrow,' CEO Pritpal Kalsi said in the company's release.
When routes are well organized, there are clear directional signs, and speed limits become reasonable. The early installation of warning signs allows transport companies to plan deliveries more accurately and avoid delays. For businesses, time is money. When a truck carrying goods does not spend hours detouring due to an unclear traffic scheme or stuck in traffic where it could have been avoided thanks to competent traffic management, fuel costs, driver wages, and vehicle maintenance costs are reduced.
Understanding the difference in purpose Unlike private businesses, which exist to make a profit, public institutions are designed to create impact - especially social and economic outcomes that benefit everyone, not just paying customers. A public agency doesn't measure its success in revenue or margins, but in how much it improves lives, builds equity and maintains public trust. This doesn't mean budgets and spending don't matter - they absolutely do - but money is not the goal. It's the tool.
Roughly one in four new openings around Milwaukee now advertise some version of hybrid work, while most roles still expect people in the office full time. The split is rippling through downtown, where vacancy rates remain stubbornly high and landlords are rethinking how to fill all that space.
In today's job market, amid persistent inflation, job seekers want more compensation. In many cases, though, employers simply can't give more. In fact, nearly three-quarters of employers are concerned about meeting candidates' salary expectations, according to Robert Half's 2026 Salary Guide. To fill the gap, many are coming to the negotiation table with a focus on everything else in the compensation package.
C orporate real estate strategy has entered a new phase. Expansion decisions are no longer driven by brand prestige or default gateway markets. Today's environment demands cost discipline, workforce stability, operational resilience, and long-term flexibility. For companies considering expansion or relocation, smaller metros - often called secondary cities - are increasingly landing on the shortlist. Not as compromises. As competitive, strategic options.
With more organizations employing teams spread across North America, Europe, and Asia, or allowing employees to work remotely from various countries, a "one-size-fits-all" local approach is no longer viable. Today, however, that approach is increasingly challenged by the rapid globalization of talent.
