A new mixed-use development may bring a grocery store closer to downtown Grand Rapids residents.
Representatives from Rockford Construction and Meijer say in a joint statement the companies are exploring the idea at a site on the corner of Bridge Street NW and Seward Avenue NW.
The statement calls Meijer an initial partner in the project.
Rockford says it’s part of a larger mixed-use development, which would include a mix of housing, office space and other first-floor retail.
A Duthler’s Family Foods is located a couple blocks past the proposed structure, away from downtown.
