Holland Civic Center parking cut for farmers market upgrades
Construction at the Holland Civic Center reduces parking for the Holland Farmers Market with about half of the front lot unavailable until September and more space closed into mid November. Patrons are directed to use Pine Avenue, Seventh Street, or spaces behind the Public Safety Building, as vendors and officials say downtown parking remains sufficient with a bit more walking expected.
