HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Sept. 8, 2022) – Some structural upgrades for the Fire Services division of the Holland Department of Public Safety are coming.
City Council members unanimously approved, during Wednesday night’s biweekly business meeting, a proposal to issue 18 million dollars in bonds. The governing panel earlier this summer approved a Notice of Intent involving the effort to fund a new fire station at the corner of East 32nd Street and Waverly Road, to replace the current station built nearly 50 years ago, as well as building a storage facility there, and to construct a 25-hundred square foot addition to the Kollen Park Station, along with renovations there.
Mayor Nathan Bocks’ sentiments echoed that of his fellow City Council members.

Also during Wednesday night’s meeting, council approved the submission of a 100 thousand-dollar Resilient Lakeshore Heritage Grant application to help pay for a proposed 376 thousand-dollar exterior restoration of Holland City Hall. It’s a competitive grant offered by the state Historic Preservation Office, and according to the city’s finance department, only 24 communities statewide qualify to apply based on the grant’s criteria.
