My goodness are subsidized grocery stores next?

Lack of grocers prompts action: "A recently formed task force has city and business leaders joining together to answer an oft-asked question among Detroiters: Why aren't there more grocery stores in the city?
Dubbed the Detroit Fresh Food Access Initiative, the 40-plus member group of government and business leaders is exploring how local regulations and permit processes can be simplified to attract more full-scale grocers to the city.
Olga Savic, director of strategy and external affairs for the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation and one of the group's co-chairs, said the group's formation couldn't have come at a better time for the city."
