Best Regional Council Grand Rapids Near Me

Jennifer Dibble: People who work there rude!

Jon Benedict: I frequently call 311 and visit city hall representing the properties that I manage. Every interaction with the city representatives is educational and provides me with a solution to my problem. From the forestry department to engineering, they have you covered with all things civic!

Anthony Delvridge: Enjoyed some good noodles

Scott Decker: Calder plaza is the bomb ❗

Kevin Bemman: There is a new system in place and you get to take your picture and everything. Slow the first time through but eazy peazy the second round!

Valynn Lage: Love you, GR!

Richard Claycomb: The City of Grand Rapids has an income tax policy that encourages people to commute to work in the City but live in the suburbs. People who live in Grand Rapids and work in Grand Rapids pay more income tax to the City of Grand Rapids than those who work in Grand Rapids but live outside of the City limits.This simply encourages people to live in the suburbs and spend their incomes they make working in Grand Rapids in the suburbs which stymies the re-development of run down areas south of downtown Grand Rapids to create safer neighborhoods and places for people to work.Why should someone who lives and works in Grand Rapids pay more in income taxes used to maintain streets and roads in Grand Rapids that see the most wear and tear on them from commuters who live outside the City but work in the City and who don't pay the same amount in income taxes for the upkeep and repair of the infrastructure of Grand Rapids?Also, there has been lots of apartment development in downtown bringing in new residents but the City has not worked to bring in a supermarket that people can walk, bike or take a short bus ride to.There is a Meijer's grocery store on the west side of the Grand River on Bridge Street but it's not easy to get to for downtown residents who live east of the river, particularly those living in income based housing buildings downtown who don't own cars to drive to that grocery store. The Downtown Market is for take out and is mostly gourmet foods and too costly for most people to do all of their grocery shopping at.This lack of a downtown supermarket encourages car ownership so people can get to grocery stores outside of the downtown area and that is not what downtown urban living is supposed to be about.With more people moving into downtown without a supermarket to buy their groceries at, the need for more car ownership to buy groceries outside of the downtown area creates parking problems for tourists and people who live in the suburbs who want to spend time in downtown Grand Rapids seeing the sites and financially supporting local businesses by buying things at downtown stores and dining at the downtown restaurants and cafes.

Mikayla Watkins: It was amazing there, the people of Grand Rapids are very welcoming and know how to party!!!! GR Pride 2022 was fabulous The queens stole everyone's breath, LGBTQIA+ family and Allies were dressed up and looked stunning.......Especially the very pretty person in the pinstripe pants and horns 😉😘 I hope this encourages more to come out next time, whether your family, or an ally, or just someone that feels the need to show love for another Valid, Deserving, Loved, and proud human being!!!!! You are welcomed!!!!!!! That much I can guarantee!Happy Pride month and stay safe.

Graham Morrison: Fun place for a festival however it would be nice if they had a bathroom option outside of poorly maintained portable toilets.

K J: Downtown Grand Rapids for the 2022 Food Truck Festival. Tons of people. Loads of good food. Had a BBQ, crepe and ice cream sandwich.Wonderful time. Great weather.Awesome experience.I only have one complaint/observation.I know the food truck needs power. I get that. But every time I waited in line. We were stuck listening to generators. VERY LOUD. Couldn't hear a darn thing. Maybe a housing to damper the sound or a way to locate them at a farther distance from the trucks.Not a deal breaker. Just annoying.

Rick and Brenda Becker: Enjoyed an evening in the foyer to celebrate our friend’s choreography skills in the Kinky Boots production!💃🏾👢👢

Medic 1647: Downtown GR is decent enough. No more special than any other City of comparable size, however, I will say the Parking is deplorable and the Parking Ticketers are everywhere!

Cindy S: Quick friendly service

Dawn Gable: Agency worked closely with us for my Mom up until the time she passed. Now they are working closely with us for my sister with ovarian cancer. The care managers are kind, caring and a wealth of information. We take the time to communicate regularly. This enables them to give us the best care possible.

badmiks: Very unprofessional recruiting team.

Aaron Priest: Will not go through them again. They have not been helpful. I thought they were supposed to be helpful with getting Medicaid but pretty much all they do is send proofs into the case worker that you send them after that you’re on your own with the DHS paperwork. When what’s the point of having them help with Medicaid if they can’t help you with the paperwork you need to fill out for DHS to get Medicaid. Also every time we spoke they were short and rude on the phone, they don’t listen to what you have to say about your situation and only hear what they want to hear. Unfortunately they have not been as helpful as we thought with getting my grandma Medicaid and it’s quite upsetting because they my family needs help either getting my grandma into a skilled nursing home or nurses to help come in and help with my grandma who has dementia. This is the first time my family as ever experienced a ill family member with memory loss. I have a 1 year old and I’m in school and my mom just had brain surgery back in December and they have just gave us a hard time. My grandma needs 24/7 care, my mom and I are the main care givers for her so this has been really tough on us. Also because we have had issues getting all the correct proofs because well we have lives, we are the main care takers, and this has just been a all over struggle for us. All we want is the help we need to get the support my family needs to manage care for my grandma with dementia. I can go on and on, but to sum this up we are very upset with area on aging and I personally will not refer any to this agency after this experience.

Deb Meekhof: Thry are wonderful. Easy to work with and very caring.

Nancy McQueen: Great workouts, adaptable to every ability level. Friendly welcoming environment.

Jameson Dick: Service coordination for our elder community.
