The Great Lakes region is essential to both the U.S. and Canadian economies. Now, a new report suggests that they are even more important than most of us know.

He is also the main author of the new report entitled, “The Vital Connection: Reclaiming Great Lakes Economic Leadership.” Michigan Radio’s Jack Lessenberry spoke with him.
