Economic development relies on collaboration and teamwork to succeed. In addition to our long-standing partnership serving Kent County, The Right Place has forged close partnerships with six economic develop- ment alliances throughout Greater Grand Rapids and has formal memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with two lakeshore partner organizations. Because of these close strategic partnerships, our work reaches more people and places, furthering prosperity for all. The Right Place works closely with its six partner counties. Each partnership includes a full-time economic development staff member who serves their respective county as employees of The Right Place. This structure fosters REGIONAL PARTNERS STRATEGY collaboration, resource sharing, partnerships, and more. There is a mutual commitment to further strengthen these partnerships by guiding high-impact joint initiatives that are relevant across our seven-county footprint. THE RIGHT PLACE PARTNER COUNTIES
