Tuesday, June 6th 2023 @ Rockford Construction
Regardless of building age, size, or primary use, one of the top priorities of those involved in the commercial real estate industry today is ensuring the safety of those who work or reside in our buildings and the security of our properties.
Join us on June 6th at Rockford Construction to hear from Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom regarding local trends and efforts to mitigate public safety concerns: supporting those that are unhoused, ensuring that buildings are secure from internal or external threats, local avenues to express concern about public safety, and more.
