Stay Sustainable Grand Rapids!

Grand Rapids is rapidly establishing itself as a leader in Sustainability.

Today, Grand Rapids was recognized by the U.S. Chamber and Siemens Corporation as a top finalist for the National Siemens Sustainable Community Award in the Midsize Community Category.

Pablo Picasso once said, “Action is the foundational key to all success."  The success of this community would not be possible without the tremendous efforts from Grand Rapid's schools, businesses and citizens commitment to sustainability.

The finalist were chosen based on Overarching Sustainability, Econominc Sustainability, Environmental Sustainability, Energy, Water, Green Buildings and Waste.

The Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce was pleased to nominate the City of Grand Rapids for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Most Sustainable Community Award.
