Summary
The Allendale Downtown Development Authority voted March 18 to designate $50,000 toward banner systems on 48th and 68th Avenues; the board will refer the proposal to the Township Board of Trustees for further discussion. Funding source was not specified in the meeting.
The Allendale Downtown Development Authority on March 18 voted to designate $50,000 toward the future installation of banner systems along 48th and 68th Avenues.
Board member David VanderWall moved the designation; Jeremy Borgman supported the motion and the board approved it. Board member Kellen Brusveen said, based on his review of other municipalities, the installation cost is expected to be approximately $50,000. VanderWall and Adam Elenbaas were assigned to bring the proposal to the Township Board of Trustees for additional discussion.
The board did not specify in the meeting record which fund will cover the $50,000 designation. The action was recorded as a board designation and referral to the Township Board rather than a final appropriation.
The decision follows continued downtown placemaking conversation by the DDA; the board framed the banner installations as part of longer-term streetscape improvements. The board set no timeline for installation during the meeting.
The Township Board of Trustees will receive the proposal for further consideration. The DDA’s next meeting is scheduled for May 20, 2025.
