The police department has grown to 28 officers. Extensive commercial growth in the south end includes the Rivertown Crossings Mall, one of the largest malls in the state. The area around the mall now includes many new restaurants and other new businesses. The mall and other new businesses have made Grandville one of the top attractions in West Michigan.
