Grand Rapids Gets Good News so does Real Estate

Some additional good news in our local economy today. Given the difficult times and the really bad press the state of Michigan gets, it is sometimes forgotten that there are positives here in this state. Especially in West and Central Michigan. We are not Detroit....and why is that?

Maybe the article is right....it is unique "combination of business leadership, public - private cooperation, and deep pockets of local philanthropists." http://www.mlive.com/business/west-michigan/index.ssf/2010/05/fortune_magazine_cnnmoney_call.html

Maybe there are additional reasons...like a great community of people with good work ethics, values and a desire not to be beat down. Not said in the article, but true.

More positive news on the Real Estate front as well.....see the following link for more......
