Grand Rapids looks financially healthy on paper. Dig deeper, and a troubling picture emerges: only 70 cents in liquid assets for every dollar owed, while critical infrastructure deteriorates faster than the city is repairing it.
#StrongtownsGR is hosting a Walk Audit this weekend. Audit is of the ~1.9 mile loop of Wealthy St, Division Ave, Cherry St, and Union Ave.
Where: Wealthy St Bakery (610 Wealthy St SE)
When: August 2nd, 10:00am
