Cobo Center has been awarded the Keep Michigan Beautiful (KMB) President’s plaque, their highest annual award.

Patrick Bero, CEO/CFO of the Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority, the governing body of Cobo Center, was on hand to receive the award October 16, 2015, in Frankenmuth Michigan.
