Coastal Alliance Position on Holland Board of Public Works (BPW) Proposition to Authorize Sale of 4036 Hillside Trail in Laketown Township
After receiving questions at the September 27 Town Hall, the Coastal Alliance board of directors discussed the Proposition to Authorize Sale of 4036 Hillside Trail, 24 acres immediately adjacent to the northern boundary of Saugatuck Dunes State Park, in Laketown Township, which will appear on the Holland ballot on November 8. The Board has issued the following statement:
Since 2007, the Saugatuck Dunes Coastal Alliance has focused on protecting and preserving the Kalamazoo River Mouth area, especially the Saugatuck Dunes and adjacent areas. Our Board of Directors strongly believes that the guiding principle and decision criteria for the future of the property at 4036 Hillside Trail in Laketown Township should be conservation, protection, and preservation.
