Grand Rapids, MI is just WAITING for something like this to turn it into a major city. It has an awesome culture and a ton of interesting things happening. However, the available tech job pool is still low and what jobs do exist are typically at non-tech companies who happen to employ tech workers.

It's not easy to get in and out of GR. Airline connectivity was one of Amazon's criteria.

I'd really like to see something happen in Grand Rapids to help put it on the tech job map. My brief time working there was a _ton_ of fun, and I really hope that I'll be able to return at some point, either as a remote worker or (hopefully) for someone local.
