And while it’s unclear where things go from here, Larry Alexander, the chairman of the Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority, which oversees the Cobo Center, told The Detroit News the following: We are fulfilling our obligation with the guidance of the Legislature of the State of Michigan — in keeping with our responsibility to be good financial stewards — to do everything we can to make Cobo Center a financially self- sustaining facility.
