HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — The shuttered JCPenney at Holland Township’s Shops at Westshore Mall may soon be transformed into a new lakeshore college campus.
The Grand Rapids Community College Board of Trustees Monday approved plans to start the process of purchasing the 50,000-square-foot building to consolidate its lakeshore program, which currently administers classes at the Thompson M-TEC, Midtown Center, GVSU’s Meijer campus and West Ottawa High School.
While programs from all four buildings would be transferred to the new building, GRCC President Bill Pink emphasized that the college’s partnership with the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District will remain intact.
GRCC anticipates spending about $2 million to acquire the property near US-31 and James Street. The school pointed out that the building sits near a bus line, making it more accessible for students.
