GR DDA supports two tough redevelopment projects

Looking ahead to bringing, and keeping, the vitality of its urban core alive with new downtown dwellers, the Grand Rapids DDA last week support two major projects in Grand Rapids' urban core—renovation of a former jewelry into lofts, and the conversion of a 123-year-old warehouse into apartments.

According to excerpts from the story:

A pair of demanding renovation projects received support last week from the Downtown Development Authority.

Board members gave Ojibway Development Partners a $50,000 building reuse grant for the firm’s planned renovation of the former Fox Jewelry Store at 83 Monroe Center.

The DDA also threw its support to Brookstone Capital LLC last week, as the Midland-based firm plans to renovate the Watson & Heald building at 101 S. Division Ave.
