HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Jan. 11, 2023) – The next step in the changing of the southern and eastern shorelines of Lake Macatawa could be seen on Wednesday night.
During the Holland City Council’s biweekly work-study session, members of the governing panel will be briefed by City Manager Keith Van Beek and others on a full history and context of the process to date, an evaluation of the proposal as compared to the Waterfront Holland documents, a description of the mechanisms to develop and finance the various public and private amenities, a review of a “term sheet” that outlines the basic terms for an eventual Redevelopment Agreement to implement the Waterfront vision, and finally the proposed ballot language that Council would need to approve before placing it before voters.
The Waterfront Holland website has more information on the project. Council has until February 1st to decide whether to put a ballot proposal before voters for the May 2nd election.
Also during the work-study session, Van Beek and other members of the city staff’s leadership team will present videos of their departments as part of the budget development process. This is ahead of the scheduled January 21st council and staff retreat at the Heeringa Holland Civic Center Place.
The Wednesday night City Council work-study session begins at 6 PM in the second floor training room of Holland City Hall (270 S. River Ave.). The public is invited to attend, and an online link to the agenda and supporting documents is here
