The only new construction of any significance in GR was from Devos and VanAndel money, Amway money if you will. That work kept my house payments paid, my children fed.

Craftsmen that I work with are the type of people that built that 40 million dollar Yacht. Why do you think it cost so much? Skilled people doing the jobs of creating it, supplying materials and labor that paid to buy their homes, feed their families.

Those "Rich" families have been a marvelous blessing in this community, and we are thankful to have them.
