BUILT TO BE A STEP ABOVE THE VISTAS AT BEACON HILL

Beacon Hill at Eastgate is launching a new way of living graciously in retirement. In partnership with architecture firm Ghafari Associates and Rockford Construction, The Vistas is a study in deliberate design and finish that can only be achieved through creative collaboration. FORM “They are definitely on the luxury side of things — spacious and high-end with an emphasis on comfort,” said Andrew Eckert, architecture manager with Ghafari Associates. “Ultimately, it’s the quality of life for the resident. Full of natural light, sound dampening for privacy, spaces for interaction with neighbors. And Beacon Hill was really good at listening to the community, so we designed a building that steps in height to fit in with the neighborhood.” FUNCTION

WE’D LOVE TO HAVE YOU If you’re interested in learning more about The Vistas at Beacon Hill, we would love to take you on a tour. Please call our sales director at 616-608-8254 to schedule your visit. Or for more information visit us online at beaconhillgr.org.

“In working with Ghafari and Beacon Hill, we assembled a plan for a grand and meaningful place that was also constructible and well thought out,” explained Adam Jones, vice president with Rockford Construction. “The materials at The Vistas are highend. Unique, cutting-edge and beautiful products were handpicked to be incorporated into the drawings or offered as possible options to tenants.”

EDITORIAL

Businesses keep pace with changing times

W

est Michigan is a resilient place. A look through the 2022 Book of Lists will confirm that statement. Included in this publication are scores of lists featuring hundreds of West Michigan businesses in several categories. Each list is a snapshot of a particular industry, and most provide historical data to put that information into context. But there is very little context available when it comes to dealing with a global pandemic. To put it in bottom-line terms: Your business either survived or it didn’t. Readers will notice many, many businesses reported fullyear 2020 revenues that were slightly (or in some cases, significantly) below the previous year’s numbers. At the risk of using a sweeping generalization, much of the blame for this can be placed on COVID-19. Companies involved with commercial real estate, lending and hospitality bore the brunt of a vastly changed business climate. As more and more people were furloughed or lost their jobs, consumer spending plum-

meted. Not a lot got done in 2020 and, while somewhat better, 2021 was no picnic, either. Yet the West Michigan business community soldiered on. Commercial construction projects got underway, banks loosened their purse-strings (at least a little), and bars, restaurants, venues and hotels welcomed back in-person visitors for the first time in a while. If not normal, then at least a sense of normalcy is returning. But what happens when the next disaster, natural or otherwise, occurs? Before answering, let’s take a brief look at history. West Michigan today is nothing like it was 30 or 40 years ago. “Bedroom” communities like Rockford, Cedar Springs, Byron Center and even Lowell no longer are feeders to a core business sector in Grand Rapids. Each of these communities (and others) now are economic drivers in their own right. They are home to large corporations that employ hundreds of people. They produce products and services that keep the region moving forward. In turn, West Michigan’s eco-

nomic diversity is growing. No longer is the region so dependent on traditional manufacturing, retail and service jobs. Instead, there is a growing movement afoot that puts an emphasis on what longtime Business Journal columnist Lou Glazer calls “knowledge-based” jobs. Institutions such as Spectrum Health, Van Andel Institute and the soon-to-arrive BAMF Health are leading health care in a new, exciting direction. The cluster of medical device manufacturers located throughout the region collectively are putting a new shine on advanced manufacturing. City and state officials, utilities and the architecture/ design community are rolling out initiatives to erase the region’s carbon footprint by 2040. In late 2021, The Right Place convened a taskforce charged with formulating a strategy to position Grand Rapids as the leading technology cluster in the Midwest by 2031. A diverse economy such as the one envisioned above is what will safeguard West Michigan during the next downturn.

As this business community blossoms in the coming years, make sure your company is represented in these pages. Upon publication of the annual Book of Lists, we inevitably are asked, “Hey, where’s MY company?” Researcher Danielle Nelson (dnelson@ grbj.com) takes great pains to be as inclusive as possible when surveying companies for the lists. Sometimes circumstances change, however. A company contact moves on to a different job, responsibilities are shifted within companies, or firms get an IT upgrade and our list survey ends up in the spam folder. Please be proactive. Contact Danielle to get on her radar. Get a copy of the Journal’s Editorial Calendar on our website (grbj. com). Ask your Business Journal sales rep for a copy. Call the front desk — (616) 459-4545 — and ask to have one emailed to you. Assign the task to your PR department. Our lists are only as good as you make them.

A bank with a Michigan presence launched a program called Green Deposits to allow commercial clients to direct their cash reserves toward companies and projects that are expected to create a positive environmental impact. Providence, Rhode Island-based Citizens — which has branches in Michigan and 10 other states — said the Green Deposits solution gives clients the opportunity to direct deposits to investments in sectors such as energy efficiency; renewable energy; green transport; sustainable food, agriculture and forestry; waste management; and greenhouse gas reduction. “Recognizing the increasing desire among clients for socially responsible investing options, our new Green Deposits solution gives clients a sustainable investment vehicle that aligns with Citizens’ own commitment to help create a healthy and sustainable future for all of our stakeholders,” said Michael Cummins, executive vice president and head of treasury solutions at Citizens. Citizens developed a Green Deposits Framework to identify eligible activities within the bank’s portfolio and ensure alignment with best practices and standards. The framework was created with the support of Sustainalytics, a Morningstar company and leading provider of environmental, social and governance (ESG) research and data. Pat Nuzzo, executive vice president, head of commercial liquidity management for Citizens Commercial Banking, said the bank brainstormed the idea for Green Deposits based on client feedback.

“We found that one, there was a lot of education that was needed around ESG, but that also, clients were keenly interested in including ESG into their corporate structure, but for most clients, specifically the clients that are at the lower end of the middle market … they don’t really have the bandwidth or the capacity internally to really stand up their own ESG programs, and so they were looking for ways that they could show to their stakeholders their commitment either to the environmental and social programs or to governance,” he said. When working with Sustainalytics to develop the project, Nuzzo said Citizens realized most of the green investment opportunities out there are around green bonds, which carry higher risk and are potentially more labor-intensive for companies to manage, or carbon credits, which can be complicated to understand. “For the client, one of the real benefits of this program is that it’s a passive investment. They’re in a portfolio, they generally have disclosure of what types of investments are in the program, but they don’t have specific information as to the individual client names … because they are not actually tied to any gains or losses associated with those names.” Nuzzo said Citizens customers have expressed concerns that if they don’t have an ESG program, it could limit their access to capital in the future, as more firms, municipalities and states are starting to require companies’ ESG compliance — as well as compliance by their suppliers — before they will consider investing in them.

t r u e s t o ry

The next 20 years may be your best years, so enjoy them. With that bit of heartfelt advice, the couple in their early 50’s reconsidered what they’d previously assumed to be out of reach: the purchase of a small cottage on the big lake. The prompting came not from their children, but from an astute financial advisor who was looking at the couple’s financial position relative to their “life” position. He envisioned the coming years during which the family’s generations would spend summers and getaways in a special place that would grow to have special meaning. They took the leap, relying on the team at Greenleaf Trust to manage their assets ever so wisely—which we did. Good advice grew inseparable from good service, and thereafter formed a trusted bond. Even as life brought terrible hardships through the passing of the patriarch and the loss of an offspring, the bond not only endured, it strengthened. To the point at which, today, we assist with matters ranging from mortgages and cars to taxes and trusts. Where good advice is sought, good counsel is given. We’re the first to say not every insight is worth its weight in gold. But with satisfaction rates approaching 100%, and our unwavering focus on integrity and trust, it’s safe to say that Greenleaf Trust clients appear to benefit from our approach to wealth management. If you’d like to learn how we might improve your financial security from generation to generation, call us; we’ll give you our best thinking.

The city of Grand Rapids’ SmartZone Local Development Finance Authority (LDFA) approved an agreement with Spartan Innovations and Start Garden to collaborate and manage its SmartZone Incubator and related high-tech business support services. In response to the city’s request for proposals issued in spring 2021, Spartan Innovations and Start Garden submitted separate proposals. The SmartZone LDFA selected both operators, contingent upon the successful collaboration with each other to implement the SmartZone LDFA project’s goals and objectives. Spartan Innovations and Start Garden will collaboratively fill the role of incubator operators within the city’s Certified Technology District through June 30, 2024. Their services are aligned to achieve the goals detailed in the city’s Equitable Economic Development and Mobility Strategic Plan and detailed in approved scopes of work. Under the terms of the three-year, $5.5 million investment, the SmartZone program budget shall not exceed $1 million in capital and startup costs and $1.5 million in operational support per year, contingent upon actual tax capture and/or available fund balance. Spartan Innovations will receive $761,000 per year for operations and Start Garden will receive $739,000 per year for operations. The partners will coordinate and collaborate on entrepreneurship services and address business development needs and services for high-tech, high growth businesses located within the city and

within its district. Services will include entrepreneur-in-residence programs, lease space for high-tech, high-growth companies and related entrepreneur support programming. The partners have developed metrics that will guide the work and services offered to the Grand Rapids high-tech, high-growth entrepreneur community. The metrics have a focus on companies served, funds raised, companies expanded and the sustainability of the SmartZone by obtaining outside funding. The incubator also will operate with an overall focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. “This partnership gives Grand Rapids’ SmartZone a competitive advantage,” said Jeremiah Gracia, economic development director for the city of Grand Rapids. “It melds the distinct and individual expertise of two partners to benefit and energize the local economy. We are pleased (by) the synergy that will be created from this collaboration.” “This is an exciting initiative, and Spartan Innovations, along with the MSU College of Human Medicine and our other affiliated entities, are thankful for the opportunity to work with LDFA and the Grand Rapids community partners to help build out a world-class entrepreneurial ecosystem,” said Jeff Wesley, executive director of Spartan Innovations. “All of the components are here, and we can’t wait to get started.” Paul Moore, co-director of Start Garden, added: “Whether coming from a university or a neighborhood, the goal is for Grand Rapids to be the best place for an innovative entrepreneur to start and stay.”

When it comes to Rockford Construction integrating sustainability into its building designs and developments, the tent poles of people, planet and profit are kept to the fore. “That’s our triple bottom line,” said Jennifer Boezwinkle, executive vice president, construction for Rockford Construction. “That’s really the challenge our clients are facing. It’s really an approach that’s gaining more and more popularity as we look at buildings’ impact not just on energy and the environment, but the people who live there and work there from a day-to-day standpoint. We are very much about the triple bottom line.” New construction and rebuilds that follow the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building certification developed by the nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council certainly are a step in the right direction, but it doesn’t stop there, since buildings will likely outlast the people who constructed them, she said. “Long before environmental concerns were really an issue and things like LEED became the norm, we have long understood from a development and construction standpoint that’s a very short window of time, that a project can be in development for six months to a year and can be under construction for a year to two years, but that building lives on, potentially for decades,” said Boezwinkle. “And it impacts the people who work there, patients from hospitals and students from schools and certainly the organizations who run those buildings.” Boezwinkle said sustainability is one

of several “layers” its staff takes into consideration when starting a construction project. Another is looking at a project in a “holistic” way. “The holistic approach is kind of in our DNA and is the direction we see clients heading into the future,” she said. “Our holistic approach has been in place long before sustainability became a thing; sustainability adds another layer of consideration, but it is another layer. So, trying to look at those buildings holistically has been our approach and we really are seeing more and more clients head in that direction as we talk about sustainability with everything happening now in terms of health concerns, healthy buildings, buildings that are not just healthy for the planet, healthier for people who live on the planet, but healthier for the people who actually inhabit those buildings.” Another aspect to Rockford Construction’s holistic business model includes the sustainability of the materials used, its construction process and finally, energy consumption. This may involve educating clients to take the long view on costs rather than initially focusing solely on initial costs. “Really the first cost is such a small piece of the pie over the life cycle of the building,” said Boezwinkle. “We start to analyze what has a higher first cost, but what will save energy over time? Obviously, that’s going to benefit the clients from a financial standpoint, but also from a planet standpoint — from energy consumption — because we know buildings really take up a substantial amount of energy use on a global scale.”

Ferris exceeds fundraising campaign goal Ferris State University raised $117.2 million, exceeding its $115 million fundraising campaign goal several months ahead of schedule. The Big Rapids-based university with a campus in Grand Rapids announced its Now and Always Comprehensive Campaign in 2017 with an $80 million goal it planned to reach by June 30, 2019. After meeting the goal nearly a year early in 2018, the campaign cabinet increased the goal to $115 million and extended the timeframe through June 30, 2022. At the 23rd annual Ferris Foundation Benefit in October at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids, the university announced it surpassed its latest goal thanks to a surprise planned $5 million gift from campaign co-chair Jeff Rowe’s former business partner, longtime friend and fellow Ferris State School of Pharmacy alumnus Phil Hagerman. The campaign has now raised $117.2 million, but Ferris President David Eisler said the campaign will continue through June 30, 2022 to raise additional funds for endowed student scholarships, program innovation and expansion, and partnerships. “I am thrilled and humbled by the tremendous generosity of Phil and all of our 22,000 campaign donors who have given generously to student scholarships, facilities, academic programs, athletics and so much more,” Eisler said. “This is a campaign about our people. It has succeeded in building a culture of engagement and philanthropy among our students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, friends and volunteers. It has allowed everyone to think and dream big about making a difference in the lives of our students and university.” Fundraising priorities through the end of the campaign include: • $25 million for phase two of Pharmacy Forward, focusing on renovating and expanding laboratories; creating interprofessional clinical spaces; establishing a College of Pharmacy Innovation Fund for scholarship, research, development and discovery and expanding partnerships; and creating new annual and endowed scholarships for pharmacy students • $18.5 million for the Jim Crow Mu-

seum, Archive and Education Center that will improve the museum’s capacity to expand and properly store its collection of artifacts documenting the characterization of African Americans during the Jim Crow era and will help make the museum’s resources available to the world through online access • $7.375 million for the $32 million Center for Virtual Learning • $500,000 for the major renovation and expansion of the Ewigleben Sports Complex that includes a new arena for the volleyball program and a Center for Athletics Performance for nearly 400 student-athletes involved in 17 varsity programs Campaign fundraising goals completed to date: • Hagerman Pharmacy building renovations to the college’s main teaching areas, including an interprofessional simulation suite, a 140-seat active learning classroom, the Rowe Pharmacy Care Clinic and a 40-person patient interaction lab • Swan Annex expansion and renovation to support growth for the College of Engineering Technology’s welding, engineering and manufacturing programs • Ken Janke Sr. Golf Learning Center indoor training facility for PGA golf management program students and home to the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame • Asphalt Pavement Association of Michigan training facility for road-building professionals and students Philanthropic support also has enabled the university to expand its educational outreach in Grand Rapids through a partnership with Grand Rapids Public Schools to deliver programs and services at GRPS’ Southwest Community Campus Middle/High School in Grand Rapids’ Roosevelt Park neighborhood. The campaign also created enhanced opportunities to serve the Latino and Asian communities of West Michigan through college-readiness summer programs including Advancemos and Promesa for middle and high school students and Ferris’ Latino Business and Economic Development Center serving up-andcoming community and business leaders through LEADeres.

Mental health crisis spurs action Local organizations are stepping up to meet an ever-growing demand for individuals experiencing ongoing struggles with mental health. Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services planned to hire 200 people to address the increased need for services. “Just to give you a sense, if you want to see a psychiatrist, you’re going to wait two to four months, if you want to see a social worker, you’re going to wait two to four months … and it’s all because demand is just skyrocketing,” said Bob Nykamp, vice president and COO of Pine Rest. “And we describe it as the epidemic following the pandemic. We’ve seen a significant increase in behavioral health; outpatient demand, inpatient demand, all of our services.” Currently, Pine Rest has 300 outpatient clinicians on staff, and Nykamp said they are looking to double that amount through multiple hiring phases and facility expansions to provide West Michigan with the care it needs. A majority of Pine Rest’s new hires will be brought on to eliminate the increased wait times patients are experiencing. The organization has continued to use services such as telehealth care, which Nykamp said has been incredibly beneficial in fueling its growth. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Pine Rest has since moved many of its outpatient clinicians to providing care from their home offices. Employee Assistance Program figures at Pine Rest also have shown a drastic year-over-year increase comparing FY 2019-20 numbers to FY 2020-21, noting the program was well-used even prior to the pandemic. Comparisons show an increase in counseling appointments by 104%, as well as the number of clients increasing by 17%. The organization also provided on-site or virtual critical incident response services following workplace tragedies at a rate of more than once per week. In addition, mental health and wellness training presentations increased by 25%, and financial consultations grew by 39%. Through its EAP program, the organization currently serves 379 organizations, covering over 60,000 individuals and their families. Industry standards multiply the individual care numbers by 2.5 to account for their families. Using

this formula, Pine Rest is serving approximately 150,000 individuals through its EAP program alone. “I think any employer who doesn’t have an employee assistance program, and it doesn’t need to be through Pine Rest, but they should be looking at including that in their benefits. It does give their employees 24/7 counseling services if they need them,” Nykamp said. Holland Hospital also is addressing the issue. The hospital recently launched its Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) to bridge the gap between inpatient and outpatient care. The PHP program serves patients who need more intensive treatment than outpatient therapy and can be safe at home between PHP sessions. Patients attend six hours per day, five days per week and receive treatment from a team of service providers including a psychiatrist, behavioral health therapists, nurses, occupational therapists and a chaplain. In its first year, the organization’s PHP program served over 200 patients and reported showing significant improvements after care. Now, Holland Hospital also plans to double its care capacity. “Routinely there are patients that are boarded in emergency departments because inpatient psychiatric beds are not readily available,” said Mikaela Andrea, director of behavioral health for Holland Hospital. “There are long waits for outpatient treatment, and that was happening even before the pandemic. And now, with the pandemic … almost two years we’ve been living in this, we’ve noticed an increase in demand, and that’s through all levels of care.” Both Holland Hospital and Pine Rest noted common stressors including job loss or job reduction, which eventually led to a sharp contrast of employee shortages and a difficult recruitment environment, translating into more employees working longer hours, doing tasks they’re not used to, increased work volume, burnout and compounding at-home stressors including child care needs and social isolation. Patients also faced financial strains, grief due to loss related to COVID-19, and myriad other contributing factors leading to an increase in anxiety and depression.

Hospitality industry ready for rebound The hospitality and entertainment industries were arguably the most affected industries in the country during the heart of the pandemic, but for Doug Small, president of Experience Grand Rapids, there is a sense of recovery taking place. He said he believes West Michigan is in the post-pandemic stage. According to Small, in May 2021, the hotel occupancy rate in Kent County was 50.5%. For the sake of comparison, May 2020’s rate was 24.7% while the May 2019 numbers checked in at 66.9%. “Once the vaccination became available to all, people’s confidence in travel began to rise dramatically,” he said. “Our leisure travel — people coming to Kent County on weekends — dramatically increased. We’ve had several weekends — Friday and Saturday nights — where our entire county is running 82-83% occupancy in hotels, and that is driven by leisure travel, people saying, ‘You know what, we have to get away.’” Along with leisure travel, Small credits youth and amateur sports tournaments with being significant hospitality drivers. He praised Mike Guswiler, the president of the West Michigan Sports Commission (WMSC), which is focused on attracting sporting events and tournaments to Kent County. “Mike Guswiler and his team at the sports commission have done a great job of keeping those tournaments alive and those have really helped us,” Small said. “The governor did not open up the state for conventions until July 1, so we were not allowed to have any groups up until July 1 and those sports groups — especially those playing outside — were able to (be here) so that helped.” Although leisure travel is returning to Kent County, one sector that is rebounding more slowly is meetings and conven-

tions. Small said during the height of the pandemic, he and his team were able to do consumer trade shows, put together site inspections and showcase the city for companies and organizations to potentially host conventions and meetings here. “Everyone knew we were going to come up out of this and some convention planners were still planning future meetings,” he said. “They couldn’t just wait and say, ‘Maybe we will wait until the next 12 months.’ They had to plan several years out, so business was still being done, albeit at a snail’s pace. But we continued to stay in front of our consumer base throughout the pandemic and keep them updated on what is going on in Grand Rapids, such as what our businesses are doing to provide a low-risk environment for them to return.” Small said more than 500 groups canceled conventions and meetings that were to be held between March 2020 and July 2021. Prior to the pandemic, there were 110 groups scheduled to come to Grand Rapids in 2021 and approximately 300 countywide. Some groups were able to rebook their events for the future. Small said between July 19 and Dec. 27, 2021, Experience Grand Rapids had 30 organizations currently booked for events in downtown Grand Rapids. These events are projected to attract 56,225 people and fill 24,529 hotel rooms. “Now you know why I am feeling a little confident,” he said. “The hardest hit was our Kent County hospitality industry downtown. They rely on group business and individual corporate travelers. Both of those things are the slowest to come back. The first thing to come back in our market is our leisure travel and youth and amateur sports tournaments.”

OWI expungement broadens workforce About 200,000 Michiganders are beneficiaries of the state’s newest expungement law. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in late 2021 signed legislation that allows for the expungement of criminal records for firsttime offenders who were convicted of operating while intoxicated (OWI). “No one should be defined by a mistake they have made in the past,” said Whitmer. “These bills allow Michiganders to move on from a past mistake in order to have a clean slate. We must clear a path for first-time offenders so that all residents are able to compete for jobs with a clean record and contribute to their communities in a positive way.” Individuals who are eligible to have their OWI criminal record expunged are first-time offenders who were operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of 0.08 or more. The 0.08 BAC level was set to increase to 0.10 on Oct. 10, 2021, but the new law eliminated that possibility. “Michigan is the only state in the country not to have a firm 0.08 blood alcohol concentration limit for operating a motor vehicle,” said Rep. Graham Filler, R-DeWitt. “Eliminating the sunset is not only the right thing to do, but it ensures the safety of those traveling on our roads.” In addition to the 0.08 or more BAC level, first-time offenders who are operating a vehicle while visibly impaired by alcohol or other controlled substance; those who are under 21 years old operating a vehicle with a BAC of 0.02 or more; and those who are operating a vehicle

with any bodily amount of cocaine or a Schedule 1 controlled substance are all eligible to have their criminal records expunged after their five-year probation period ends. Individuals who are eligible and interested in having their OWI record expunged must submit a petition to the court, which will be reviewed and determined by a judge. The new law, however, excludes those who have caused death or serious injuries to individuals while driving intoxicated. “Safe & Just Michigan thanks Gov. Whitmer for signing these popular, bipartisan bills, which represent a longawaited chance for a fresh start for tens of thousands of Michiganders whose opportunities have been limited by a single old DUI conviction,” said John S. Cooper, executive director of Safe & Just Michigan, a nonprofit that works to advance policies that end Michigan’s over-use of incarceration and promote community safety and healing. “Drunk driving is a serious problem in Michigan, but permanently limiting a person’s ability to work and drive based on a one-time, decadesold mistake does not make sense. People who can show that their DUI conviction was a one-time mistake should have an opportunity to make a fresh start.” This is just the latest expungement effort in Michigan. In April, 2021, the Clean Slate Act was signed into law, which allows individuals who committed low-level misdemeanor marijuana offenses and traffic offenses to apply for expungement.

Nonprofit expanding facilities and services Dégagé Ministries is expanding its current facility and services with the help of funding from Michigan Community Capital (MCC). The organization that serves individuals experiencing homelessness in Grand Rapids was granted a $7.5 million New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) from MCC, kickstarting a two-phase project renovation of Dégagé’s 100-year-old building at 144 S. Division Ave., contracted by Rockford Construction. The tax credit also will fund a 9,945-square-foot addition that will expand the facility’s footprint to approximately 26,500 square feet. MCC’s $7.5 million allocation resulted in a $2.3 million tax credit equity from Old National Bank’s ONB Community Equity to help finance the project. Dégagé also is using a leverage loan for the transaction from capital campaign proceeds and a bridge loan from Macatawa Bank. “We’re pleased to contribute to a vital and impactful project in a severely distressed area,” said Eric Hanna, president and CEO at MCC. “Not only will this project provide a safe space to serve people experiencing homelessness in Grand Rapids, it will also enable patrons access to tools designed to equip them with the skills required to attain — and maintain — employment and housing.” The renovation and expansion will increase shelter capacity from 14,600 to 27,010 overnight stays per year by replacing 40 sleeping mats with 74 beds. The plans also include a new dining facility, increasing the number of meals served to individuals in need by nearly 50%. The ongoing construction of the phase one addition to the existing facility will include new features such as 66 beds with personal storage units, laundry facilities, a commercial kitchen and a large attached dining facility. Phase one was expected to

be completed near the end of 2021. Phase two construction will begin in January, with an estimated completion date of July 2022. The second phase will feature upgrades to the existing facility, including a new coffee/retail shop for Pauls’ Moms’ Cookies (PMC) which donates 100% of its proceeds to Dégagé’s Open Door Women’s Center. Open Door offers overnight shelter for women in crisis and PMC provides jobs to women who have graduated from the center’s program. Additional upgrades to the existing facility will include a new wellness center for individuals recovering from illness or surgery and larger, updated classrooms for job and life-skill training for up to 1,000 individuals annually. “ONB Community Equity is honored to support the financing of this expansion so the Dégagé team can enhance their dedication to delivering help and hope to people facing housing insecurity and other underserved individuals in Grand Rapids,” said Mike Harbaugh, VP, tax credit relationship manager at Old National Bank. The project is expected to support 64 new and existing positions at Dégagé. Sixty employees, including contractors and subcontractors, are expected to be employed as a result of the project. “We are grateful to Michigan Community Capital, Old National Bank and Macatawa Bank for making this critical project possible,” said Thelma Ensink, executive director of Dégagé Ministries. “Because of Michigan Community Capital’s investment in this project, we will be able to provide a workforce development, a social enterprise business with a retail space on South Division, a wellness center and more. This investment and project help us take big steps forward to reduce homelessness and poverty in our community.”

WHY ADVANTAGE As we near the end of the year, our Advantage team has been reflecting on all that 2021 held starting a new company, expanding our service offerings, and adding talented people to our work family. Overall, we experienced success because of our clients and their trust in us as experts in the Commercial Real Estate market. Despite the challenges we faced, our team remained positive. We laughed together and found true joy in working alongside each other to help our clients accomplish their goals. Every advisor and employee at Advantage, our clients, and the community have played a vital role in making our business successful this year and our story is just beginning. We are excited to be in a new environment in 2022 where we will innovate, create, and collaborate with each other and the businesses we serve daily.
