I've always been a boat nerd, even as a kid, but I never really understood how our port and port authority works. In the news are always the major ones on the ocean coasts, but what about what happens here?

Mark Schrupp of the Detroit Wayne County Port Authority breaks it all down - the history, the cargo, and its importance to our region.

Plus, we get into some exciting stuff, like the upcoming Tall Ships event hitting Detroit for the first time many years!

Mark gives us the details on these majestic sailing vessels coming to our waterfront and how you can see them up close.

Detroit's a special city to the world, from Motown, to motors, to techno, and more. But what about the city of today and tomorrow? What about making sure those making ideas happen in Detroit have the support and resources they need to go to the next level, sustainably?

I had a compelling conversation with Simon Moss, the co-founder of Global Citizen. The Global Citizen Now conference is coming to town next week at Hudson's Detroit, bringing together leaders from business, government, media, philanthropy, nonprofits, and culture to explore what it takes to build inclusive, sustainable cities.

Four key areas of focus are economic equity, talent development, climate resilience, and community impact.

Hello, and welcome back to your Daily Detroit Podcast.

On this show, we dive deep into the stories that shape Detroit and Michigan – from the future of the auto industry and fun places to find food, to the development happening around our region, transit, and the debates over how we're building our future.

Today, we're tackling a topic that intersects all much of this: environmental policy and its impact on our economy and quality of life. For this episode on Wednesday, June 25, 205 - I sat down with Phil Roos, the Director of Eagle, the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy for the state of Michigan, to talk about how Michigan is transforming brownfields, protecting the Great Lakes, and facing some tough choices about environmental funding.

01:56 - What is the Michigan department of EGLE? And why does it matter to the average person?

03:23 - Importance of Brownfield Redevelopment in Michigan and urban areas

06:51 - What is the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative doing to clean our fresh water?

08:32 - How are actions at the federal level impacting Michigan's department of EGLE?

12:49 - What environmental projects is our guest excited about?
