DETROIT (AP) — Officials are expected to release details of an event designed to bring investment and reinvestment into Detroit.

Mayor Mike Duggan is listed among those to speak Monday morning at the Museum of Contemporary Art about the third annual Detroit Homecoming conference.

The conference is planned for Sept. 14-16. The event has been used to convince professionals with Detroit ties about the benefits of taking part in the city's revitalization.
