Grand Rapids earned the name Furniture City in the 19th century, and the region remains a world center of office furniture and design, with Steelcase headquartered in the area and other major manufacturers in nearby Holland and Zeeland. Today the economy also rests on healthcare, life sciences, food and consumer products, with Amway in nearby Ada and the Meijer retail chain based on the city’s edge. The downtown Medical Mile along Michigan Street brings together hospitals, Michigan State University’s medical school and the Van Andel Institute.
Grand Rapids is about two and a half hours from Detroit and three hours from Chicago, and many meetings here involve a stop at a supplier or plant elsewhere in West Michigan. Gerald R. Ford International Airport is southeast of downtown and convenient to the suburbs where many companies are based, and a private flight can connect several stops in a single day. Visitors come for Frederik Meijer Gardens, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, a downtown full of craft breweries and restaurants and the Lake Michigan beaches less than an hour west.

Things to do in Grand Rapids
When to go. Late spring through fall is the best time to visit Grand Rapids, with patios, outdoor concerts at Meijer Gardens and day trips to the Lake Michigan beaches. Festival of the Arts fills downtown in early June, and fall brings color along the Grand River and apple season in the surrounding orchards. Winters are cold and snowy, with lake-effect snow, though the breweries, museums and nearby ski hills keep things lively.
