GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — City leaders say the Grand Rapids area started off 2020 strong, with dozens of developments planned to open within a year. Then the perfect storm hit, throwing the market into chaos.

Here's how 20 projects have fared since then.

Ambiance GR Kitchen & Lounge | 106 Pearl St. NW

Opening Delayed
