Grand Rapids City Commissioners Drew Robbins and Alicia Belcek Discuss Community Priorities

Drew Robbins and Alicia Marie Belcek, the First Ward city commissioners, are on a mission to enhance the quality of life in Grand Rapids. At a recent meeting, Robbins, who has served on the City Commission for over two years and is currently the commission's president, emphasized his commitment to "good governance." He highlighted the importance of public safety, clean parks, and a well-trained city staff to serve the community effectively.

Belcek, who took office in January, echoed these sentiments, focusing on the needs of residents. As a working mom of three, she is passionate about creating safe neighborhoods, vibrant economic opportunities, and addressing environmental issues. "I want to make sure that we are building the city of the future," she stated, inviting community members to share their concerns and ideas.

Both commissioners are dedicated to making Grand Rapids a better place to live, work, and play. They are actively engaging with residents, especially during the city's 175th anniversary celebrations, to foster a sense of community and collaboration. As they continue their efforts, Robbins and Belcek are committed to ensuring that every voice is heard in shaping the future of Grand Rapids.
