Greg Piper, president of Beacon Allegan Hospital, told the Allegan City Council a recent water-line break required an emergency response but patient and staff safety were maintained; he said Beacon has invested about $3.2 million locally since last July.

After a rollover crash and repeated near-misses, residents urged Allegan council to install traffic calming on Delano Street. Council directed staff and police to compile options, costs and legal constraints and report back at a future meeting.

The City of Allegan on Jan. 26 authorized issuance of up to $10,040,000 in sanitary-sewer first-lien revenue bonds and up to $7,270,000 in water-supply first-lien revenue bonds, both with 20-year terms and interest not to exceed 7%; staff cited a $2.5 million MEDC grant for water improvements and next steps including a credit rating and bid process.
