HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Aug. 18, 2022) – Holland’s downtown Social District is expanding.
During Wednesday night’s biweekly business meeting, the Holland City Council unanimously concurred with the Downtown Development Authority’s recommendation that the boundaries for the area where patrons of participating establishments that serve alcohol by the glass could step outside to enjoy their adult beverage be expanded one block south to accommodate the Park Theatre site off of River Avenue and West 10th Street. Deputy City Manager Matt Van Dyken is also one of the DDA’s board members, and says that the theatre has “really stepped its game up.”
Under the new guidelines, Centennial Park across River Avenue and the adjacent sidewalk there would still be off-limits, and the theatre would augment signage posted outside that clearly points out the boundaries of the Social District.
City Council also awarded a nearly 204 thousand-dollar project to Anlaan Corporation for constructing a sidewalk along Central Avenue between US-31 and 48th Street, to be built in conjunction with the current installation by the state Department of Transportation of new crosswalks at the intersection of US-31 and Central Avenue. The work will begin next month and end by Halloween.
