A native son returns to Detroit to open an office for his Ann Arbor-based company and create a few jobs.

Excerpt:

John W Stout has a stake in his native Detroit. It's why the president and founder of Stout Systems opened an office for his Ann Arbor-based firm in TechTown this year.

"TechTown is clearly the center of a lot of the growth in Detroit," Stout says. "I am very interested in seeing Detroit reborn and I think TechTown is a focal point of that rebirth."
