Description

Holland Ice Rink Groundbreaking Ceremony

 The City of Holland is excited to announce another step forward in its plans for Holland's Ice Rink with a new and approved budget. the project has been largely covered by the generosity of the community, which has raised over 80% of the total cost of $11,364,953. Funding has come from all directions, including a $1 million check from Frank Kraai - a former elementary school teacher, principal, and volunteer - plus another $1 million donation from the Jim Jurries Family. In October, the rink received an $800,00 boost from Michigan's Revitalization and Placemaking Program from the Michigan Economic Development Fund. Included in the overall cost is the ice rink, a curling rink, fire pits, landscaping, restrooms, lighting, and tools needed for operations - plus a refrigeration system that acts similarly to Holland's snowmelt system, but cools rather than heats. The tubing will guarantee ice from November through March. 

Join us for the groundbreaking ceremony starting at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, April 23!
