Visitor center takes shape at power plant in Holland

Posted

The visitor center at a power plant nearly 30 miles west of Grand Rapids is taking shape.

Ashley Kimble, spokeswoman for the Holland Board of Public Works, which is spearheading the project, tells the Holland Sentinel the $1.2 million addition is part of the $240 million Holland Energy Park project. It wasn't included in the project's original budget.

The visitor center will be an interactive space for visitors to learn about energy at home and in the community. The board's general manager, Dave Koster, previously said there will be several exhibits in the long corridor of the visitor center.

The board approved a contract with Color-Ad Inc. for about $717,000 to fabricate the exhibits. The work includes the building of exhibits for six areas and lighting to enhance them.
