Year in Review with Rick Baker

West Michigan has had an incredible year. 2022 for many was the first full post pandemic year, where operations returned to normal and businesses flourished. But this year wasn’t without its challenges.

Baker is excited to see West Michigan continue to lead the state in economic growth. He’s also excited to see West Michigan continue to be a region where individuals and families are coming from all over the country and world are starting to call home.
