Why Move to Detroit: Interview with Vittoria Katanski

Each city has something that makes it special and unique. During our revitalization efforts in Detroit, we’ve been able to hear from the locals exactly what it is that makes Detroit so special and why you should consider a move to Detroit.

We caught up Vittoria Katanski, the Executive Director for Hatch Detroit and asked her why she loves living in Detroit. In our interview, she discusses the ongoing urban revitalization of the Motor City, the great people and the surrounding up-and-coming areas.
