The "Flint Sprint" will tackle 20 different projects in the city over the next 60 days.

The Detroit bankruptcy brought government, foundations and business together, working to get through that historic crisis. Today marks the public launch of an effort to do the same for Flint.

Detroit News Business Columnist Daniel Howes joined Stateside to talk about his latest column about the "Flint Sprint." This project brings a number of businesses -- both big and small -- to tackle 20 different projects over the next 60 days. 
Listen to the full interview above to hear more about the different projects that are in the works and how this was modeled after the Detroit bankruptcy.
