HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – Tax abatements, alcohol sales and short term rentals are among the topics that the Holland City Council will tackle this evening.
On the agenda for the bi-weekly meeting is a request by Hudsonville Creamery and Ice Cream Company for a 12-year Industrial Facilities Tax Abatement. This involves a nearly 1.6 million-dollar addition to the plant off of 48th Street that company officials say would add 25 more workers to the current 48-employee staff within two years of the slated January 2020 completion date of the project.
Council is expected to approve on a procedural second reading ordinance amendments that would modify the alcohol sales requirements for the Holland Civic Center once the building reopens this fall under retained outside management. In addition, an 18 hundred-dollar deal to retain Host Compliance for weeding out “illegal” short term rentals in the Tulip City as part of approving code changes this past April that allowed such rentals “under certain conditions” should be endorsed by the city’s governing body.
Council will go behind closed doors to review a written attorney opinion and consider a property acquisition, an action allowed under the state’s Open Meetings Act, prior to this evening’s 7 PM meeting in Chambers at Holland City Hall. A link to the agenda for this meeting is here.
