HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – Christmas may be history, but for the city of Holland, a belated holiday gift comes in about two months or so.
That’s when the new BPW Power Plant near the Eastern Gateway is slated to be in operation, and Mayor Nancy DeBoer can’t wait for the 200 million-dollar, 145-megawatt, natural gas-fueled facility to start providing electricity to the customers of the municipal utility. “Halfway through February is the drop-dead they (contractors) have to have it done,” she said recently on “WHTC Morning News,” “and I think they are pretty much on schedule, so we’re looking forward to that.”
DeBoer added that an educational wing, the “red spine” of the building as she calls it, is due to be done by the fall of 2017.
