À propos de ce contenu audio

 In this episode, host Phil Tower welcomes Andy Balaskovitz, Managing Editor of Crain’s Grand Rapids Business, for a look at the biggest business stories shaping West Michigan in 2025—and what should local leaders, entrepreneurs, and residents be watching in 2026 and beyond?

We dig into major development projects like the Fulton & Market “three towers” proposal and the uncertain future of Michigan’s Transformational Brownfield program, along with record cannabis sales as the industry prepares for its next phase.

Andy also breaks down Grand Rapids’ $4.3 million placemaking grant to reimagine the Monroe North corridor, major corporate sales involving SpartanNash, Steelcase, and WK Kellogg, and the growing debate around data centers in West Michigan.

The discussion rounds out with a look at agriculture challenges tied to labor and input costs, plus downtown office-to-housing conversions—including the 111 Lyon project and redevelopment plans for the historic Ledyard building.
