MLive's economic reporter Rose White spoke to Kristana Estate residents, county and state officials. She joined Stateside to share what she's learned.
Detroit artist Akea Brionne just received a $50,000 grant from the Knight Foundation. The Arts + Tech award is given to five artists pushing the boundaries of creativity with new media.
