Each year, The Sentinel publishes two brief series in November and December. In the past, we’ve written about our own family traditions, our favorite winter destinations, and particularly notable nonprofits.
This year, I asked reporters to highlight a development they felt was particularly impactful to our readership in 2025. We’ve compiled those stories for your perusal here, from a record-breaking expansion of services at the Interurban Transit Authority in Allegan County (which provides affordable transportation to riders of all ages and abilities), to a two-decade dream fulfilled at Holland Township Community Center, to the introduction of impressive new programs at West Ottawa Public Schools.
For our upcoming series, reporters will highlight developments and projects coming in 2026 that, likewise, will have a hefty impact on the greater Holland area. We hope you’ll stay tuned.
