HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – A busy Wednesday night lies ahead for the Holland City Council.
During this evening’s biweekly business meeting, the panel is expected to formally approve a set of nine goals for fiscal 2018 that were created during the annual retreat earlier this month. City Manager Ryan Cotton says that this procedural move is needed so he and his “Leadership Team” can include them in a proposed budget “to be forthcoming at the end of March.”
City Council is also expected to accept a 165 thousand-dollar grant from the state Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund for improvements to the entrance and parking area at DeGraaf Nature Center, with an adjoining resolution to retain a designer for the project. There will also be a procedural first reading of an PILOT ordinance proposal that would allow General Capital Group to petition the state for tax breaks in a 54-unit, low-income “Centennial Park Apartments” project slated for construction later this year. A final vote on the ordinance would come in two weeks.
Tonight’s meeting is at 7 PM in Council Chambers at Holland City Hall.
