Division
Avenue Business Association
from 28th to 54th Street
WELCOME
Next Meeting:
8:00 AM Thursday, July 9th, 2009
at Tommy Brann's, 4157 S. Division
Welcome
Note Welcome to a great, historic, and moving-forward
business district. DABA has been working hard
for over 10 years and we have seen our work pay-off.
We have businesses like Godwin Hardware (50 years),
Tommy Brann's Steakhouse & Grille (37 years), Metro
Motors (30 years), and many more. Our
businesses range from big (like McDonalds) to small
(like Engles Jewelers). Big or small, we
worked hard together to form the DABA and we hope
more businesses will join us.
But funding a new bus system along Division Avenue
into Grand Rapids could pay big dividends for at
least two of the three cities on the Interurban
Transit Partnership's southern flank.
A levy request on the May 5 ballot would leverage
$40 million of state and federal money to build the
Silver Line, a network of 19 bus stations from 60th
Street northward.
