Construction on the comeback in Southeast Michigan

Thanks to new investment in Detroit-area businesses and public transportation, the construction industry is finally hammering away again.

Excerpt:

"The construction industry in Metro Detroit and Michigan as a whole is part of a comeback story that needs to be told, an expert in the field told a local news website.

Chris Fisher, president of the Associated Builders and Contractors of Michigan, told CBS Detroit  the state is undergoing a true renaissance  after years of dormant activity.

"We’re seeing more jobs, we're seeing better jobs and we're building again," Fisher said. "We suffered more than most industries did in Michigan and to see folks getting back to work, to see backlogs improving — it's quite a comeback story and we're thrilled to be a part of that."

There are several projects in downtown Detroit that have appeared to lead the way in Southeast Michigan including  renovation of the David Whitney Building  and plans for the $140 million M-1 Rail project."
