Now, talking about freight, moving goods from Point A to Point B is not the kind of discussion that is likely to stir the blood in most people. But it is part of the economic lifeblood of major metros like Detroit.

To grow jobs in the short term and build a solid economy for the long term, metropolitan areas like Detroit need to build on their strengths.
