1. Do you have comments, concerns, or curiosities about the proposed $45 million plans to restore the Grand River? The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers out of Detroit will be in Grand Rapids for a community meeting and the public is invited.
The plan involves removing low dams in the river between I-196 and Fulton Street. The Sixth Street dam will remain in place to function as a barrier against the invasive species until a new barrier is built upstream.
Officials with the Grand Rapids Whitewater Hope Work will begin late this year or early 2020 to take advantage of federal funding.
The meeting goes from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. today at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids.

If you can't foster, you can still donate on their Amazon Wishlist.
The Humane Society is open Tuesday through Saturday.
