About this Event
What makes Heartside a great place to do business? How can we improve it? The Heartside Business Association needs your voice!
In place of our June Breakfast Club, we invite you to participate in a vision session at Bamboo focused on your ideas, your experiences, and your vision for what Heartside can become. In groups, we’ll explore the highs and lows of Heartside commerce and decide — together! — where the HBA should focus its efforts in 2026, 2027 and beyond.
Sponsored by Fancy Real Estate and Rhize Urban Strategy, the Heartside Vision Session will run from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Bamboo Grand Rapids (2 Fulton St. W). Arrive early for breakfast and networking!
