HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — Waterfront Holland has set a series of charettes this week, for talking about the former James DeYoung Power Plant, the VerPlank property, and Window-on-the-Waterfront.
A charette is a meeting that collects thoughts and ideas from as many groups as possible, in this case, residents, business owners and regular Holland visitors.
Designers will present a variety of ideas and collect reactions from 1 to 5 p.m. today, Monday, May 20, 2019, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow at Holland City Hall’s second-floor training room, followed by a 6 p.m. open house Tuesday in the city hall council chambers and on Thursday, people can attend the first public summary presentation, at which the designers will summarize all the information they’ve collected and indicate which directions they’ll be following.
During the first charrette, designers and community representatives developed several potential scenarios for the broader waterfront stretching from South Shore Village to Holland Energy Park. We presented the scenarios at a summary presentation for the community on April 18. The results are online.
