As Important As Downtown

Potential translates into numbers now available from an online decision-support tool. The Outer Space Grand Rapids website (www.outerspacegr.org) profiles areas of the city outside of downtown in order for neighborhood stakeholders to make informed decisions about managing growth and targeting investment. Grand Rapids’ urban or central city neighborhoods are not simply streets of housing where we live. They are the people and the places demonstrating how we live. Relationships, not isolated components, make for sustainable communities.

Seasons Change, Colors Burst Forth in Commercial District

On Monday, September 21st, the Creston Neighborhood Association (CNA) unveiled its newest murals.

Through a competitive selection process, CNA chose internationally recognized Creston artists, Michael Pfleghaar and Nathan Goddard, to create works which add a stronger sense of community and ownership for those living and working in a valuable Northeast neighborhood of Grand Rapids.

The Creston Public Art Initiative is a multi-year project that seeks to create public art within the Creston Business District on Plainfield Avenue just north of Leonard Street.
