Holland Harbor Dredging Will Start in June

Holland-based King Company, Inc. has been awarded $374,000 dredging contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Friday, May 26. This project will start in June and complete in July.

This project will dredge approximately 34,000 cubic yards of material from the harbor. The funds are also being used to dredge 30,000 cubic yards of material from the St. Joseph Outer Harbor. Material from both sites will be placed south of the south breakwater between the ordinary high water mark and a four-foot contour that is closest to land.

Holland Harbor is located on the east shore of Lake Michigan, 95 miles northeast from Chicago and 23 miles south of Grand Haven. These channels need to be kept open for “important cargo.” At Holland Harbor, this includes coal, building materials, petroleum products and other miscellaneous needs.
