Scott leads virtual tour of Ottawa County's key facilities and landmarks

Ottawa County is making strides in community services and infrastructure, as highlighted during the August 5, 2025, Special Meeting of the Board of Commissioners. The meeting showcased the county's commitment to enhancing public facilities and services, particularly with the recent opening of the Family Justice Center in 2024. This center consolidates vital services, including the family division of the circuit court and the friend of the court, aimed at providing comprehensive support for families in need.

Commissioners emphasized the importance of the Fillmore Complex, which houses several key government buildings, including the Administration Building and the Corrections Building. The latter will soon welcome the veteran services department, further expanding support for local veterans.

In addition to these developments, the meeting also touched on the county's health and human services, with departments like community mental health and public health being centralized at the James Street campus in Holland. This strategic location aims to improve accessibility for residents seeking health services.

The discussions underscored Ottawa County's rapid growth and the need for continued investment in community resources. As the fastest-growing county in Michigan, the board is focused on ensuring that infrastructure keeps pace with the increasing population and diverse needs of its residents. The meeting concluded with a call to action for ongoing community engagement and support for future initiatives.
