Eye On The Future: 'Detroit's Next Chapter' Special On CBS 62
DETROIT (CBS 62) Detroit has always been known as The Motor City, but in recent years has become the national focus of controversial issues affecting many cities throughout the country.
The national recession, public corruption, racial division, population loss and enormous operating deficits have stood in the way of the city returning to its past prominence.
Now, with the largest municipal bankruptcy in history, the first white mayor in 40 years, an Emergency Financial Manager appointed by the State, and the resurgence of the auto industry along with successful diversification of other businesses, massive change is just ahead for Detroit. As the city moves forward into 2014, attention from The White House, Lansing, the nation and the world is on what comes next.
Take a look ahead with the Emmy Award-winning team of senior producer/host Carol Cain and senior videographer/editor Paul Pytlowany as CBS 62 presents "Eye On The Future: Detroit's Next Chapter".
This special presentation features exclusive perspectives from the people playing key roles in the rebuilding of the city as the history-making developments continue to unfold.

Executive Chairman Bill Ford, Judge Greg Mathis, Bill Pulte, Detroit Police Chief James Craig, former Mayor Dennis Archer, former Mayor Roman Gribbs, developer A.
