Non-Principal Residence (formerly non-homestead)

This is a renewal of 18 mills on non-principal residence and other nonexempt property and six mills on commercial personal property. This proposal represents an annual renewal (i.e. not an increase) of millage, which does not affect the taxes on a homeowner’s principal residence. Passage of the Non-Principal Residence means a continuation of $18.6 million in revenue needed to maintain Grand Haven Area Public Schools’ programs and services.

The annual Girls on the Run/Girls on Track New Balance 5K will be held May 19 at the Grand Haven Public High School, 17001 Ferris Street at 10:30 am.

The participating girls will run at the high school and through area neighborhoods to culminate a ten week after school program that builds self esteem, confidence and promotes healthy lifestyles. Approximately 850 girls and their coaches will create a wave of pink in their colorful shirts as they run, walk and in some cases push participants in wheelchairs.

The public is invited to come and cheer for the girls along the route. Community members are also invited to participate in the 5K to show support for the girls. See www.gotroac.org for information about participation as a community runner and to register.
