Good Morning, Southwest Michigan! This week in FIRST & 42, we’re leading with Streets for All as construction begins on a project that will reshape how people move through and experience downtown Kalamazoo. We’re also sharing how the Kalamazoo Event Center plans to pursue NCAA hockey, gymnastics, and other major tournaments; Kruggel Lawton’s 6,000-square-foot expansion in Portage; and Hildebrand Fruit Farms’ $4 million investment in a new packing facility supporting growers across Michigan. Plus, join us for The Human & Mindfulness Side of Exit Planning at The Catalyst Center on Tuesday, July 28, for lunch and a conversation on the personal and emotional side of transitioning a business.
