City-owned property along the Grand River could be sold and become the site of a 14-thousand seat amphitheater under an agreement passed unanimously by Grand Rapids commissioners Tuesday.
The Grand Rapids-Kent County Convention/Arena Authority (CAA), the board that oversees Van Andel Arena and DeVos Place, will spend the months ahead looking into the development at 201 Market Avenue SW further before officially closing on the estimated $24.5 million sale.
