Detroit Free Press praises Grand Rapids’ whitewater restoration efforts

According to an excerpt from the article:
It may take five or more years, but it will get done, because Grand Rapids has become a get-it-done kind of place. This is in contrast to Detroit, which too often is a “how do we stop this?” kind of place.
