WEST OLIVE, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Nov. 21, 2022) – Santa Claus doesn’t come until December 24th, and Sinterklaas makes his annual visit to Holland a week from Friday, December 2nd, but one can forgive members of the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners if some of them adorn red and white outfits on Tuesday afternoon.
During the biweekly business meeting, the panel will go over more than 20 project proposals to determine which ones will receive funding, and how much of that funding, from what the county had received through the federal American Rescue Plan Act. Some of that funding has already been distributed, according to Republican Commissioner Roger Bergman of Grand Haven.
However, there is a purpose behind the plan for the board, and the commissioners are using a “bucket” system to determine these funding priorities.
Tuesday’s Ottawa County Board meeting will be at the Fillmore Street Administrative Building in West Olive (12220 Fillmore Street), beginning at 1:30 PM. A link to the agenda and supporting documents is here.
