DETROIT ~ During the annual State of the County speech on Wednesday, Wayne County Executive Warren Evans spoke about expanding job growth in the county, particularly in aviation.
“We have a world-class airport here, and we have several airports in the county,” Evans told WJR. “We don’t have a feeder system for those airports, for the jobs that are created and expanding at those airports, and I think that’s something that if you’ve got a world-class institution in your county, let’s have some world-class people to fill those jobs. It’s part of the overall scheme for making Wayne County and Michigan better places to live.“
