==Economy== As of the 2000 census, there are presently 10 types of industries in the city. Manufacturing accounts for 30%, retail 16%, education, health, and social services 15%, with the next five industries accounting for 6%, and transportation, warehousing, utilities accounting for 3% of business in the city. The manufacturing segment is unique in that it is the largest in West Michigan. It currently produces auto parts, industrial machinery, commercial printing, plastics, food processing, electronics, tool and dies, concrete supplies, and fire engines. After Grandville allowed development of a new 6-anchor shopping complex, Rivertown Crossings Mall, and the related development, many major retail businesses in Wyoming folded, including the long-standing Roger's Department Store, its successor, and most tenants of [[Rogers Plaza]]. The city of Wyoming formed a Downtown Development Authority in an effort to help support the city in keeping businesses in the area in 1999.<ref>{{Cite web |title=City Center |url=https://www.wyomingmi.gov/CityCenter#225112-evolution-of-28th-street |access-date=2025-03-06 |website=City of Wyoming |language=en-US}}</ref> In the 2000s, plans were being made to revitalize the 28th Street corridor.<ref name="WOOD28">{{cite news|last1=McAboy|first1=Koco|title=28 West project in Wyoming moving forward|url=http://woodtv.com/2016/06/24/28-west-project-in-wyoming-moving-forward/|access-date=August 18, 2016|agency=[[WOOD-TV]]|date=June 24, 2016}}</ref> In 2013, the City of Wyoming introduced the 28 West plan,<ref>{{cite news|title="28 West": City Of Wyoming Looking To Transform 28th Street|url=http://fox17online.com/2013/08/27/28-west-city-of-wyoming-looking-to-transform-28th-street/|access-date=August 18, 2016|agency=[[WXMI|FOX17]]|date=August 28, 2013}}</ref> a plan to develop downtown Wyoming along 28th Street into a more pedestrian friendly environment that will provide food, retail, and entertainment.<ref name="WOOD28"/> In June 2016, plans began moving forward on the 28 West plan with the demolition of part of the Wyoming Village Mall and the creation of a new road through the surrounding parking lots to attract developers.<ref name="WOOD28"/> ===Largest employers=== [[File:Metro Health Hospital.jpg|thumb|right|[[Metro Health Hospital]], the second largest employer in Wyoming.]] According to the city's 2021 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the largest employers in the city are:<ref>{{Cite web |date=June 30, 2021 |title=Comprehensive Annual Financial Report For Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021 |url=https://www.wyomingmi.gov/Portals/0/City%20of%20Wyoming%2006%2030%2021%20AUD%20FS-FINAL.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211229225339/https://www.wyomingmi.gov/Portals/0/City%20of%20Wyoming%2006%2030%2021%20AUD%20FS-FINAL.pdf |archive-date=December 29, 2021 |url-status=live |website=City of Wyoming}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |- ! # !
