GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The first phase of a redesign to Calder Plaza officially got the green light with the Grand Rapids Downtown Development Authority approving nearly $50,000 in funding for this long-awaited project.
The concrete space in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids is home to government offices and hosts many events throughout the year.
This first phase will include having meetings, coming up with designs and renderings, along with doing a cost analysis for the entire project.
The entire concrete deck will be removed, waterproofed and replaced before the full redesign of Calder Plaza happens, according to Crain’s Grand Rapids.
A master plan for the redesign first was finalized in 2017, but the project got stalled several times, especially because of the pandemic.
