HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – Although no final decisions are expected on Wednesday evening (Aug. 25, 2021), some important topics will be discussed during the biweekly Holland City Council work-study session.
Among the items on the agenda is a presentation by the Hitchcock Design Group on their vision for the city’s waterfront along Lake Macatawa. It’s part of the developer-driven Request for Proposal process as part of the Waterfront Holland initiative that comes in part on the future of the decommissioned James DeYoung Power Plant site off of Pine Avenue, and Hitchcock was one of three firms selected by city officials to make presentations.
That presentation will be followed by a Neighborhood Connectors update from Mark Kornelis, the city’s community development coordinator, and then transportation services director Brian White goes over a proposed joint project with Holland Township that would create a non-motorized route along East 8th Street, from East 10th Street and Lincoln Avenue off of DeVos Fieldhouse to the junction with Paw Paw Drive at the edge of the Holland Heights neighborhood.
Finally, council members are expected to huddle with City Attorney Ron Vander Veen behind closed doors to review a written legal opinion and discuss litigation strategy stemming from a lawsuit by Sarah Sterken Jackson filed earlier this year over alleged overcharging by the city for public documents. She is looking into possible racial discrimination actions by police officers of the Holland Department of Public Safety.
The City Council work-study session begins at 6 PM in council chambers at Holland City Hall. A link to the agenda for the session is here.
