    • Abstract:
      Walter Watkins, director of Detroit, Michigan's Department of Planning and Urban Development and chairman of Cobo Action Subcommittee of the Tourism Economic Development Council assures that the entire region would benefit from conventions coming to the region and the price tag for what's needed to improve or replace Cobo Center, a convention complex is too great for the city to bear alone. Watkins said a ballpark figure for the cost would be $500 million to $1 billion, depending on a number of factors. A firmer figure, along with other details of a proposed project, are to go to be sent.
