A Zeeland investment firm is planning to rebuild and expand its footprint in the downtown area.
Koele Godfrey Investment Group, which has been part of downtown for 30 years, plans to tear down its existing single-story office at 123 E. Main Ave. and in its place build a new two-story, 6,350-square-foot office.
The City Council on July 21 approved the creation of a commercial rehabilitation district for the site, making Koele Godfrey eligible for tax incentives on the $2 million project.
“(This) investment will enhance the firm’s ability to serve its growing client base, accommodate future staff expansion and strengthen its presence in the heart of the city,” said Carey Koele, who is one of the firm’s co-founders and currently owns the business with Brent Kehrwecker.
City planning staff are supportive of the Koele Godfrey proposal.
“This project aligns with a number of the goals contained in the city’s downtown vision plan, including the rehabilitation of all existing buildings in the core of the downtown and encouraging the construction and use of second-floor buildings downtown,” Community Development Director Tim Maday said.
Koele Godfrey is expected to ask the council this fall to approve an Act 210 Commercial Rehabilitation Act tax break.
“This is an exemption that decreases the tax burden on new investment for a period of 10 years, where the new (property) value created through the project only is subject to the state education tax and the school operating millage for a period of 10 years,” Maday said.
Koele called the pending tax exemption request “a vital component in making this investment a reality.”
The city has issued close to 20 exemptions under Act 210 for various rehabilitation projects over the last few years, Maday said.
Details of the building to be constructed, according to the application submitted to the city, include:
• About 3,600 square feet set aside for dedicated workspaces for financial advisors, support staff and management;
• About 1,200 square feet for private offices and conference rooms for confidential financial consultations, plan presentations and small-group workshops;
• Additional space for a front lobby, receptionist station, administrative workspace, employee training and break areas, and storage.
“We’re at a point in our expansion where we’ve added rooms. We’ve even had two people off-site working for us right now. We are in need of room,” Koele said.
Koele Godfrey has supported many local events over the years, including Zeelmania, the Show & Shine Car Show, Music on Main and the annual Christmas parade, Koele said.
Koele Godfrey plans to retain its 10 current employees, and expects to add at least five new jobs over the next five years, including positions in financial advising, client service and administrative support, according to the firm’s application.
The project is expected to get underway this fall and is scheduled for completion by the end of next year, Koele said.

One Dead, One Hurt in Zeeland Township Crash
A 43-year-old Blendon Township man is dead and a 64-year-old Park Township woman is recovering from injuries suffered last Friday night in a two-vehicle crash on 88th Avenue near Ransom Street in Zeeland Township, according to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies were dispatched to the crash scene about 7:30 p.m. An investigation by the sheriff’s office showed the Blendon Township man was driving a Consumers Energy F-550 truck southbound on 88th approaching Ransom when it collided with a Toyota Corolla driven by the Park Township woman that was westbound on Ransom. The driver of the Consumers truck was ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene, Sgt. Brad Bennett of the sheriff’s office said.
The driver of the Corolla was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The crash remains under investigation by the sheriff’s office Traffic Services Division.

Township Board Sets Public Hearing on Woodbridge Rezoning
By Greg Chandler
Zeeland Record
The Zeeland Township Board will hold a work session and a public hearing next month on a developer’s request to rezone a 13.4-acre parcel at the northeast corner of Woodbridge Street and 96th Avenue.
The board will hold a work session prior to its regular meeting next Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. to discuss the proposal to rezone the property at 9501 Woodbridge St. from R-1 rural residential to R-2 medium-density planned unit development. The board will then hold a public hearing on the rezoning at its following meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 7 p.m.
The board decided on those work session and hearing dates after a lengthy meeting on July 15, when Township Zoning Administrator Lori Castello gave an extensive presentation to the board on planning and zoning issues. Castello, assisted by Township Attorney Ron Bultje, outlined the laws relevant to zoning, different types of development and the roles and responsibilities for each body involved with land use decisions.
The township Planning Commission voted 6-2 in May to recommend the board approve rezoning the property, which is located about a half-mile west of Woodbridge Elementary School. The township’s future land use map shows the parcel eventually being rezoned as R-2 medium-density residential.
Project engineers have presented a preliminary plan calling for 41 housing units on the site, including 29 single-family homes and six two-unit attached condominiums. The development would also include four acres of land being set aside as open space.
Nearby residents have turned out at both Planning Commission and Township Board meetings for several months to object to the project, saying the development will lead to increased traffic and negatively impact neighboring property values. They want the township to maintain the current R-1 zoning.
The township’s residential PUD ordinance requires that such developments be at least five acres in size, that each lot be a minimum of 6,500 square feet, that at least 70 percent of the development consist of single-family homes, and that at least 30 percent of the property be set aside as open space, Castello said.
“That can be walking trails, it can be a playground, it can be a few different things. A certain percentage of wetlands can count, but roads don’t count for it,” Castello said of the residential PUD open space requirement.
During her July 15 presentation, Castello explained how a PUD can be beneficial to the township versus a conventional rezoning.
“You can see what the plan is that you’re considering rezoning, unlike a straight rezone, where they can tell you they’re going to build a church and then come back, and you’ve got KFC, because it’s a permitted use,” she said.
Castello told the board that a rezoning or site plan decision must be made that is consistent with the zoning ordinance that has been developed by the township.
“We don’t have popular vote for (land) uses, we have standards,” she said. “If the bad guy wants to do something good, it’s going to be allowed, and if the good guy wants to do something bad, it’s not going to be allowed, because the project has to meet those standards, regardless of who owns it, who’s involved, what it is – if the standards are met, that’s what we look at.”
When Castello puts together an information packet for planning commissioners to review on a specific rezoning or site plan proposal, she includes in the document the relevant zoning laws of the township commissioners must consider in making their decision.
“I take the laws that you have created as a community and help you apply them and guide you in your decision-making process, based upon those laws,” she said.
If the rezoning for the Woodbridge site is approved by the Township Board, the developer must then put together final site plans and present them to the Planning Commission within two years, Castello said.

Library Benefits from Your Lead Foot
By Greg Chandler
Zeeland Record
The Howard Miller Library is getting a boost in its funding – thanks to those of you who got pulled over for speeding or other traffic offenses in the past year.
The Ottawa County Treasurer’s Office recently allocated a portion of its fines received from criminal violations and civil infractions to the county’s nine public libraries.
Herrick District Library in Holland received the largest distribution from the county with $202,262, followed by the Georgetown Township Library with $124,646, according to the treasurer’s office.
The penal fine distribution represents about 5.1 percent of the Howard Miller Library’s revenues for the 2025-26 fiscal year, Library Director Amanda Hanson wrote in an email to the Zeeland Record.
“These funds are not earmarked for any specific line item within the library’s appropriations. Instead, they are pooled with other revenue sources and allocated as needed to support the library’s operations and services,” Hanson wrote.
The Michigan constitution requires that all penalties collected for violations of state penal laws be split into court costs, statutory fees, and penal fines. The portion designated as penal fines is deposited into a library fund and must be used for the support of public libraries and county law libraries. These funds are considered local revenue, collected within each county, and are distributed to public libraries based on the population each library serves within its jurisdiction. The Library of Michigan certifies the annual distribution.

City Waives North Street CRC Snowmelt Assessment
By Greg Chandler
Zeeland Record
Zeeland’s downtown snowmelt system worked quite well during its first winter of operation – with a minor exception.
A particular trouble spot for the new system was the area in front of North Street Christian Reformed Church. The city had problems getting the system in front of the church to function properly for most of last winter, Assistant City Manager Kevin Plockmeyer said.
As a result, the City Council July 21 voted unanimously to cancel North Street’s special assessment for the snowmelt system for 2025 in the amount of $2,105.
“We just couldn’t get that (area) quite to melt the way it should,” Plockmeyer told council members. “We were playing with valves and manifold boxes … all winter and didn’t really quite give them the benefit the snowmelt system was to provide for them.”
“We think what was happening is (that there were) two systems – one was pumping from the north side and one was coming from the south side. They would reach the center together, and it would just kind of conflict with each other and we didn’t get the full circulation to the manifold boxes,” Plockmeyer said.
Plockmeyer hopes that the situation has been resolved and will not repeat itself this winter. He said the cancellation of this year’s assessment does not prevent North Street from being assessed in the future for snowmelt.
This year marked the first year that the city had levied an assessment on all properties that are part of the snowmelt system.

City Adds Temporary Help to Clerk’s Office Staff
By Greg Chandler
Zeeland Record
With Zeeland City Clerk Pam Holmes remaining on a medical leave of absence, city officials have bolstered staffing in the clerk’s office with the recent hiring of two interim deputy clerks.
The City Council recently approved the appointment of Nadine Hopping and Sharon Lash to serve as interim deputy clerks, joining Kristi DeVerney in staffing the clerk’s office while Holmes remains on leave.
Hopping was already working for the city as an assistant in the city’s community development department, a position she has held for the past year and a half. Even before being appointed as an interim deputy clerk, she had taken minutes at the July 7 City Council meeting in Holmes’ absence.
“Given Nadine will continue take minutes when she is available during this interim period, it was suggested by City Attorney (Jim) Donkersloot that Nadine … be appointed as an interim deputy clerk so that she can sign the minutes, resolutions and ordinances that may be approved at City Council meetings,” City Manager Tim Klunder wrote in a memo to the council.
Prior to joining the city, Hopping was a police officer for the city of Wyoming for two years, and was a cadet for both the Kent County sheriff’s office and the city of Wyoming for a couple of years.
Lash brings five years of experience as an elections assistant with Grand Haven Charter Township to her interim deputy clerk role with the city. Her appointment allows the clerk’s office to be fully staffed 40 hours a week – from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, Klunder said.
“This is extremely helpful leading up to the August election as we routinely have election questions leading up to an election,” Klunder wrote in his memo. “Additionally, we do foresee Sharon being able to assist with some of the other day-to-day duties of the city clerk’s office given her schedule availability.”
Lash’s appointment is considered seasonal, as it is an interim position until the city can hire a human resources specialist and finalize plans for staffing the clerk’s office, Klunder wrote.
DeVerney, who is chief deputy clerk for Grand Haven Charter Township, was appointed earlier this month to serve as chief deputy clerk during this interim period. She is providing oversight over the Aug. 5 primary election and will likely also oversee the general election on Nov. 4, Klunder wrote.

Council Awards Contract for Cityside Flashing Beacon
By Greg Chandler
Zeeland Record
It won’t be ready for the start of school next month, but a rapid flashing beacon to help Cityside Middle School students safely cross Main Avenue will soon be installed.
The Zeeland City Council on July 21 unanimously approved a contract with Strain Electric to have the beacon installed at the midblock crossing on Main in front of the middle school. The city will pay Strain $24,850 for the installation.
“We won’t be able to get it in before school starts, just due to the lag time on the equipment,” Assistant City Manager Kevin Plockmeyer said, adding that the city would work with Zeeland Public Schools on timing for the installation.
The beacon is activated when a pedestrian pushes the button on the side of the street if they want to cross, Plockmeyer said.
“It doesn’t force people to stop, but hopefully it provides a visual cue to slow down,” he said.
The city had received a $35,000 grant earlier this year through the Michigan Department of Transportation’s Shared Streets and Spaces grant program to pay for the beacon. The program was designed to fund projects to make communities more walkable, bikeable, and transit- and micromobility-friendly.
The city received two bids for the beacon installation, with Strain being the low bidder. The company has done extensive work with the city in the past on its traffic signals, Plockmeyer said.
As the bids for the project came in less than the grant amount, the city hopes to use some of the leftover funds for engineering work that’s needed on the beacon project before installation, Plockmeyer said.
