“A creative economy is the fuel of magnificence.” Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Have you noticed Grand Rapids has been doing a magnificent job with our new creative economy? Medical Mile is world class with the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital, Lack’s Cancer Research Center and now Michigan State University Medical School. Look at the $70 million LEED certified Grand Rapids Art Museum and the new UICA architecture. Art Prize! The diverse, creative, post industrial economy has helped us weather the recent recession. Now we have another opportunity to be innovative and resourceful. Restore the rapids in the Grand River! Science, art …… and now active urban recreation? Now that’s a formula for success. Magnificent.
