Downtown Grand Rapids is at a turning point. In this episode of The Rapids Report, local Chamber leader Joe Schroeder joins Josh to talk about the challenges facing our small businesses - and the missed opportunities that could be costing the village more than we realize.

From a bold tourism proposal that fell flat at a recent council meeting to a DORA plan that's sat untouched for over a year, Joe shares his concerns about the lack of urgency-and why residents need to pay attention now.

If you care about the future of downtown, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
