You may need to start paying for parking when you visit Grand Haven next year.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. — Grand Haven city council members voted to approve a request to look further into a proposal that would require visitors to pay for parking in the city.

By passing the resolution, that will allow city staff to create a formal plan and request proposals to implement paid parking on the waterfront in the spring of 2023. It also authorizes the city to produce an optional plan for paid parking in all downtown parking lots.

The city says they spend over a half million dollars a year to help maintain parking in the city.

A committee spent several months studying the issue and recommended paid parking be implemented during busier summer months.
