Why Move to Detroit: Interview with Jeannette Pierce

When it comes to loving where you live, there are few places that are perfect all the time. But, Detroit is one city that has a lot of positive things happening. If you are considering a move, you should think about a moving to Detroit. With all of the growth going on in the motor city, we can certainly understand why the locals love it so much.

Recently, we interviewed Jeannette Pierce, the Director of Community Relations for D:hive and Detroit native, about why she enjoys living in Detroit and why you may want to move to Detroit. Watch the interview below.

What is D:Hive? The D:hive is a physical storefront and welcome center in Detroit’s Central Business District where you will find help with anything Detroit: places to live, work, and engage, as well as ways to build your business in the city.

Do you agree with Jeannette? Is Detroit a place where you could see yourself living? Why do you think people should move to Detroit? We want to hear from you in the comments below!
