GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Grand Rapids gets its name from the Grand River which runs through the middle of town, and the rapids which used to be part of the river. The rapids disappeared more than 150 years ago when the first of many dams was installed, but those dams will eventually be removed as part of an ongoing effort to bring back the rapids.
“There s historical records that show people would find the center of the town through sound,” said Steve Heacock, president and CEO of Grand Rapids Whitewater. “They would start hearing the rapids from a mile away when they were in the woods, and they would follow that sound to the center of the city.”

Steve Heacock, board chair for the Grand Rapids-Kent County Convention/Arena Authority (CAA), announced he will resign from the board this summer.
Heacock, who already planned to make his current term on the CAA board his last, in a statement said he was encouraged by the county to consider stepping down sooner.
“As I understand it, they want the new member involved in the many current CAA issues that will define the future of the CAA, including COVID-related finances and the amphitheater,” he said. “They also would like someone on the CAA board who is more closely associated with the current commission.”
