Detroit planning director wants to bring Midtown success to neighborhoods

Detroit can’t be called a successful comeback story until it’s more than just downtown Detroit that’s coming back. With that in mind, as the newly hired Director of Planning and Development for Detroit, Maurice Cox has the job of envisioning and realizing the remaining chapters that will complete the volume of a ‘new’ Detroit that works for all the city’s residents.
The good news is that Detroit is finally starting to attract the sort of headlines across the country that Detroiters no longer have to be embarrassed or angry about. After so many years of being the butt end of all the wrong jokes, oftentimes told by those who barely know the city, Detroit is swiftly becoming perceived as the ‘new hot thing’. The rapid development and transformation of Midtown is responsible for a lot of that attention, and Cox gladly acknowledges that as a well-deserved positive stroke. Any good news about Detroit is welcome, and those who have worked so hard for so long to create the Midtown success story, Midtown Detroit Inc.’s President Sue Mosey in particular, did so with a singularity of purpose, vision, and dedication that is quite remarkable.
