LANSING, Mich. — Sen. Roger Victory is applauding news that Hudsonville Creamery and Ice Cream Co. will expand its city of Holland facility with support from a state grant.
“This project will bring in at least $40 million in private investment and create 44 well-paying jobs,” said Victory, R-Hudsonville. “This is great news for our community and the entire region, and I applaud Hudsonville Ice Cream for its continued commitment to West Michigan.
“This is the type of economic development support we should be focusing on — a project that offers an excellent return on investment for taxpayers, with a job provider that has a long history in our state.”
The $40 million investment will include renovations and modifications to the existing dairy production room to accommodate the new novelty bar production line. The project will include new plumbing, HVAC and electrical work, and new machinery and equipment.
To help support the project, Hudsonville Ice Cream will receive a state performance-based grant for up to $700,000 and a 15-year, 100% State Essential Services Assessment exemption for up to $599,275.
