With the weather getting warmer, and the days getting longer, one might be longing to trade those cubical walls for the crisp summer air. Grand Rapids is filled with outdoor work locations if you’re looking to get some vitamin D while you work on that big project.

Richard App, the Grand Rapids Chamber’s Retail, Retention, and Attraction Specialist compiled this list of his favorite downtown work locations.

“When it comes to working remotely and I am already properly caffeinated I tend to want to get outside. This past winter feels like it is just leaving us and  the snow will be flying before we know it so it is best to make your remote work plans now,” App said.
