Holland Aquatic Center expansion aims to boost use and finances
Executive Director Jack Huisingh leads the Holland Aquatic Center expansion project to stabilize finances and grow capacity. The plan adds a leisure area and new family amenities while maintaining free schoolchildren swimming lessons, partnering with Mary Free Bed for rehabilitation, and pursuing a $3 million foundation goal to fund canopy upgrades and a second-floor workout area. The campaign has raised $2.1 million, with $900,000 more sought as opening targets push to January and end of next year completion.
