Community & Economic Impact

This riverfront revitalization project aims to enrich the quality of life for our diverse community. By linking isolated neighborhoods to green spaces and downtown amenities, generating jobs, and driving regional tourism, we are committed to creating a vibrant, inclusive future for all.

Anchored by iconic venues and bolstered by significant private sector investments, projects along the Grand River in Grand Rapids are expected to generate over $1.2 billion in net new economic impact over the next 30 years, fostering job creation and entrepreneurial opportunities.
