Developer Asks Commission Review Celebration Village Project

GRAND RAPIDS, MI-A plan to build a connector road in front of a movie theater complex may be the key to a decision on a new office complex here.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI-A developer of the Celebration Village entertainment complex has asked Grand Rapids planning commissioners to rescind action taken at their last meeting, saying it could worsen traffic congestion at a busy section of the development. An attorney for developer Jim Reminga requested a hearing on a request by movie magnate John Loeks for an additional parking lot at his Celebration Cinema movie theater.

Loeks also wants permission to build a 95,000 sf office building on 10 acres north of Celebration Village and wants a road that would connect Celebration Village with the 10 acres to the north.
