Park Township has created a new web site for our Master Plan.  We will post meetings, maps, and other related information.

Below is a link to view the Holland Harbor fishing access improvements that are now under construction.  This is an Ottawa County Parks 12  project, and is located off Ottawa Beach Road by the State Park.  For more information contact Ottawa County Parks  at 616-738-4810.

Holland Harbor Fishing Access Improvements

The details for the Park West Drain are still not finalized.  The Ottawa County Drain Commissioner reports that his office is continuing to work diligently toward securing easements that will then allow the final engineering to be completed and the construction to begin.  Until the final pre-construction activities are completed, it is impossible to determine the finite boundaries of the drainage district.  It also remains impossible to determine the total cost of the project and what might be the cost to individual property owners.  

Therefore, should anyone be specifying what assessments may be, kindly remind them that there are no cost numbers yet available and suggest they revisit their sources to obtain factual information.  The facts remain the same: the final route is not yet determined, therefore no project costs can be determined and therefore no individual costs or assessments can be determined.  The project remains under the jurisdiction of the Ottawa County Drain Commissioner, and to paraphrase an old television commercial, “ there are no numbers until he provides the numbers!” 

We are able to report, however, that the Drain Commissioner remains committed to reviewing all aspects of this project with the intent of developing the most cost effective solution to the high groundwater problems.

2010 is a busy election year.  With candidates campaigning, political signs will begin to appear.  For regulations concerning this type of signage, please click on the following ordinance link:  Political Signs

At this time the Park West Drain project remains under the jurisdiction of the Ottawa County Drain Commissioner.  We have been informed by the Commissioner that his office is making every effort to secure the required right of way and easements for the project.  Once easements are secured, the final routing can be determined and final engineering completed.  Construction during this construction season is still anticipated. 

Please monitor this site or contact the Drain Commission office, at 616-994-4530 for additional details.
