Diversification opportunity - Boeing

With a USD 100 bn in orders for this new plane, Governor Rick Snyder, Detroit, and Michigan should be pursuing this opportunity very hard. Glad (and a bit surprised) to see my Congressman on the ball for this one. Aerospace would be a great complement to our existing industry and help suppliers diversify from automotive cycles. Plus, Boeing was from Detroit, Michigan to begin with. To top it all, we are actually a right to work state at the moment. Amazing. Not sure if we can use the Dubai-Detroit sister city aspect on this one though, unfortuately.
Chances like this don't come around very often. Hopefully, local leaders will realize the opening and seize the opportunity.
