REGIONAL PARTNERS
The Right Place services an eight-county region across western Michigan including Kent, Ionia, Lake, Mason, Mecosta, Montcalm, Newaygo, and Oceana counties. This broad geographic area comprises a range of diverse industries, geography, and lifestyles – from Oceana County’s orchards and Newaygo County’s forests and rivers, to the lakeshore communities in Mason County. This year, The Right Place undertook a strategic planning project with each partner county to uncover new opportunities for collaboration and growth across the Greater Grand Rapids region.
