Grand  Rapids was founded as a logging town along the Mississippi River and was the northernmost stop for Steamboat Travel.  Today, logging still remains prominent even as the economy has greatly diversified.

Wanted:  All information on the Itasca County Attorney's office and the City of Grand Rapids Police Department. It has been brought to my attention and confirmed that they have not investigated some criminal cases, but rather let them lay.  These are serious allegations and leads one to wonder if the cases aren't limited.  Anyone who feels the Itasca Court, Attorney's Office, or Grand Rapids Police Department have failed to investigate and/or prosecute crimes, should email me at marvin.pirila@gmail.com.  All information will remain confidential.
