Welcome to Rapid Growth
Welcome to Rapid Growth a free, weekly e-magazine that tells the story of the growth that’s changing the face of Grand Rapids and its neighborhoods.
Rapid Growth is the story of a city’s transformation. Each week, this free, weekly e-magazine will bring you news, featues and pictures that tells the story of the growth that’s changing the face of Grand Rapids and its neighborhoods.
Rapid Growth is guided by managing editor Andy Guy — whose experience includes in-depth coverage of growth issues in Western Michigan for the Michigan Land Use Institute. Guy — along with photographer Brian Kelly, development news writer Mark Rumsey, and a team of writers — will bring you stories that talk about development, urban living, preservation, architecture, arts, sustainability and education. We’ll cover everything that tells the story of our Rapid Growth.
Plus, each week we’ll feature an in-depth look a different neighborhood. From Eastown to Center City, we’ll show the ins and outs of moving there, how to invest in the neighborhood, as well as great places to visit.
