Holland Civic Center Place the Holland Civic

The Holland Civic Center and Market is a Place where the beauty of the ordinary moments of everyday life are recognized as having extraordinary value. More than any other place, it is where more residents of Holland from all walks of life gather and feel welcome. The next chapter in the life of Holland Civic Center Place will build on this legacy and continue serving many purposes and people rather than being dedicated to one use. The accumulation of these familiar activities in comfortable surroundings will welcome the broadest range of residents in a more capable space that remains flexible and adaptable over time, so that fifty years from now we will still be celebrating Civic Center Place as the heart of the community.
