A class project by Kendall College of Art students shows young businessmen working on keeping Grand Rapids' downtown thriving and what the city needs to advance that goal. 

Entitled "Thrive Grand Rapids", the video shows various city business people and media types discussing some of the needs of a growing downtown.

The video has already been picked up by the travel site Movoto as a way to promote the city.

According to the Mainstay video page:

Grand Rapids is full of brave, ambitious people who deserve a city center that fully supports their basic needs. We want to create a walkable, livable, thriving community in the City Center that will continue to differentiate Grand Rapids. Making it a destination for the next generation of talent that will continue the great work of this century.
