The article says 4 acres for an expansion, which would comprise just about all of Eerdman's property on Jefferson. Says they will replace all the buildings (but not with what yet):

I'm having a hard time keeping up with all this development news.

Our town is going crazy! I don't think we've seen the end of it either.

EDIT: When did I become a hamlet, or a community of people smaller than a village? I had to look that up :blush:

There isn't a "disclosed" # of posts of when you reach different levels. :ph34r:

As far as St. Mary's goes, it must be worth if for them to speculatively build an addition here hoping to get the MSU - Med School, similar to what Spectrum is doing at the RDV/Christman site.

We got a Hospital building competition going on...

Hopefully we see the same voracity with Macatawa and Huntington ;) (albeit, less spread out, and more height-oriented)

In case you old folks were wondering.. my grandma had a hip replaced at St. Marry's, and it's reguarded as one of the best places on this side of the state for that kind of procedure :rofl:

Saint Mary's wanted that property really bad and finally got it. Big numbers for what it is.

Eerdman's staying put until end of July, they have bought a new building that was built last year located at 2160 Oak Industrial drive in a property that was formerly part of the 17-acre ThornApple Valley meat plant / hot dog factory.

A really smart developer bought that after the plant closed and created 4 lots (and got RenZone status) which now will be home to Eerdman's, Pella Windows, Integra Printing, and the City of GR water / sewer dept.
