Manage episode 485663824 series 1412618
Oakland County's economic growth and inclusive policies take center stage in this Daily Detroit episode that's a conversation with County Executive Dave Coulter.
- We examine the strategies behind Oakland's robust economy and its commitment to diversity as a driver of progress.
- Coulter details the "Oakland 80" initiative, a program focused on increasing educational attainment among adult residents to meet workforce demands.
- The conversation covers the county's efforts to address transportation challenges through expanded mass transit and its novel approaches to tackling systemic issues such as medical and student debt, aiming to financially empower residents.
- We get into the diversity of living options in the county, where you can have just about everything you'd want depending on which corner you decide to live in.
- We also get into Oakland County's innovative affordable housing programs and Coulter's dedication to the revitalization of downtown Pontiac.
Oakland County is 1.4 million people and a quarter of Michigan's GDP - and I learned a lot about how Executive Coulter looks at things and why this corner of Michigan is so successful.
