GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — On Wednesday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer will spend the afternoon in Grand Rapids for a couple of different events.
Whitmer is expected to attend "Afternoon for the Outdoors," an event that will highlight the state's recreation industry and the changing industry landscape. Organizers hope to ensure Michigan is helping drive the national discussion on outdoor recreation.
