On Thursday, January 2nd Rotarians were joined by our City Manager, Ryan Cotton, who provided an update on the Campaign for Windmill Island Garden's, Next Fifty Years.  Ryan shared a handout outlining the key components as follows:

1. Repairing and Restoring Our Dutch Artifacts including the DeZwaan Windmill and Amsterdam Street Organ and Carousel.

2. Pedestrian Link with Holland Charter Township.

3. Pedestrian Access to Windmill Island Gardens from Downtown.

  • Total campaign goal is $2,125,000. 

  • Rotary committees are evaluating elements of the campaign to see if there is opportunity for a signature Holland Rotary project or project(s). Stay Tuned for more information on that front.

  • SAVE THE DATE!! There will be a Grand Re-Opening of DeZwaan on April 19th, 2014 since that portion of the project is complete.
