Catalyst Development Co News Today

Roughly six months after completing a $40 million expansion at its Sparta facility, adhesive tape manufacturer Tesa Tape Inc. now has moved its North American headquarters to downtown Grand Rapids.

New renderings of the Athletics Performance Center and Kalamazoo Events Center have been released to the public.

The Northside Association for Community Development, or NACD, hosted a retirement party for longtime executive director, Mattie Jordan-Woods.

Catalyst Development Co. last month closed on four adjacent properties in downtown Kalamazoo for $4.27 million to set the stage for a $300 million, 8,000-capacity event center.

The Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners approved signing all closing documents related to the sale and purchase agreement for a $300M event center to be built downtown.

People can ask questions about Kalamazoo's arena project during a virtual event this week.

The Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners met Tuesday, April 6, for the sole purpose of discussing the terms of the proposed sale.

The county is considering selling two of the four parcels of land for $4.27 million. A 4-4 vote on Tuesday stalled plans.

The county board tied 4-4 Tuesday night, delaying a proposed $4.27 million sale needed for a new arena to be built downtown.

From $81M to $300M, the arena project has grown in cost over the years as plans fell through. But leaders think this time will be different.
