Would love an NHL team in GR... but man, it would be hard not still be a die hard Red Wings fan. I just wish Arena Football would have come back.

Makes me wonder as well if there is a timeline. Kalamazoo is close to getting started on their new $300M downtown arena. Plenty of shows have played Wings Stadium in the past, wondering with a shiny new arena would some of the smaller events look south.

OK so the mega millions jackpot tonight is something like $1.4 billion. Let’s say after taxes you get about $730 million. What project or projects would you donate your money to? I would want to give money to the hospitals, GRPS, The Rapid… also, the little kid in me still wants to build a big sky scraper downtown. What are some things you guys would do locally if you were to acquire that amount of money!

Concourse expansion is looking impressive.

GRFIA has released its 2022 report. https://www.grr.org/report?hsLang=en

The concourse A expansion is looking fantastic!!! I keep hearing they are planning on a partial renovation of concourse B as well. Hoping to hear lots of new flight options in the coming months.

Has anyone seen any renderings of the new Air Traffic Control tower? It keeps being mentioned, but I have not seen any renderings released.

Airport direct road access study.... https://www.woodtv.com/news/kent-county/community-leaders-meet-to-improve-ford-airport-access/ https://www.gvmc.org/airport-access-study

It is very much a bro place. Lots of Instagram pics and crypto advice going on in this establishment.

While all of the upgrades are great, I would really like to see an upper and lower level for departures and arrivals. The roadway can get very congested at times.

The airport just launched a new website detailing Project Elevate. https://flyford.org/elevate/. Check out the plans for the expanded parking ramp and new rental car area. Wow! Really great progress for this airport.

Had a flight this am and WOW!! This project is huge. You can really start to see it peaking out from different parts around the airport.

Across the street? Is that the old Tall House site from maybe 15 years ago?

Starting to get closer to pre-pandemic passenger levels. https://www.woodtv.com/news/kent-county/ford-airport-travel-numbers-approach-pre-pandemic-levels/

Implying that these folks will have some where to go and not be out in the cold.
