Like many other cities in the United States, Grand Rapids,
Michigan has struggled with redeveloping its economic identity
after the devastation of the Great Recession of 2008. "Last Chance
Mile: The Reinvention of an" "American Community "demonstrates how
Grand Rapids has been redefined as a hub for the greatest
scientific minds in the world by developing what has come to be
called the "Medical Mile."
The Medical Mile is cluster of prosperity that is anchored by a
world-renowned research institute, a major healthcare organization,
a Big Ten medical school, an allied health professions program at a
nearby university, and an entrepreneurial incubator where new
medical device and life sciences businesses are being born. None of
this existed until a $1 billion donation from Jay Andel changed not
only the way the world views Grand Rapids, but how the community
views itself.
It has been a long journey of self-discovery for Grand Rapids
that could serve as inspiration for other American communities.
