ime flies when you are having fun and that’s no truer than here at the Grosse Ile Grand. It is hard to believe, but May marks the fifth anniversary of the publication of the first edition of The Grand. In that time we’ve brought you the stories that make Grosse Ile such a great place to live. We’ve reported about the Island community being the safest place in Michigan, about the achievements of the Grosse Ile school district’s students and about the success of the Island’s prep athletes. Of course, as in any community, there have been
frustrations; uncertainty over the McLouth site, the free bridge closure and, naturally, the potholes come to mind, but on balance the benefits and joys of living on Grosse Ile far outweigh the nuisances. We’ve watched as Islanders lived for months with just one bridge and how community members fought through the depths of the pandemic and came out on the other side. You have been inspiring. We are pleased to be able to keep Grosse Ile residents informed and entertained and most pleased to provide an affordable platform for our great local businesses to reach their customers
We are grateful to officials, who each month contribute to our “From the Township” feature to help keep residents informed about a variety of township business. Those officials seem to know the value of a local newspaper, too. “The Grosse Ile Grand has been a great asset to the Island and its residents,” said current Grosse Ile Supervisor Jim Budny. “Being the one source where all the different issues come together. I can’t thank the Grosse Ile Grand’s staff enough for keeping us informed. “Happy Fifth Anniversary Grosse Ile Grand!”
An invitation!
