Paul, a 2016 GOP presidential front-runner, will be in Detroit on Friday to address the Detroit Economic Club where he will unveil a plan to create economic “Freedom Zones,” a unique agenda that features help to poor families and struggling businesses.

 

In what could be a cornerstone of Paul’s economic agenda for troubled cities and regions, he will detail his “Detroit economic plan” to revitalize the city’s economy with growth-encouraging tax and regulation changes.

 

His trip makes him the first to offer a blueprint to restore Detroit's lost luster and comes during a week in which a federal bankruptcy judge gave the city unprecedented powers to take virtually any move to pull out of an economic tailspin.
