City of Grandville

Grandville, MI

Steve Maas

Mayor

Pledge Summary

Established in 1833, and incorporated as a City in 1933, the City of Grandville is located along the Grand River in Kent County, Michigan, southwest of Grand Rapids, and bisected by the beautiful Buck Creek tributary of the Grand. The Mayors' Monarch Pledge is a perfect extension of the Growing a Greener Grandville effort the Environmental Sustainability Committee began in November 2023 to certify the city as a Community Wildlife Habitat. The Pledge will help us focus the city's 16,000 residents on specific projects and actions they can take to create and conserve habitat for the Monarch Butterfly and the many other amazing pollinators and creatures that need our thoughtful stewardship for their very survival.
