Grand Rapids City Commissioners approve a land purchase for new development along the Grand River.

Changes could soon be coming to downtown Grand Rapids.

City Commissioners this week approved the purchase of an 11.6-acre plot along the Grand River.

The Grand Rapids/Kent County Convention/Arena Authority said this is a step forward in the proposal to bring an 12,00-seat amphitheater, affordable housing and recreation space to that area of town.

The city owned the area of 201 Market Avenue, south of the US-131 S-curve, and the CAA offered to buy it for $24.3 million.

We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.
