LG now seeks to renovate original building for $81M

HOLLAND — More work is expected at LG Energy Solution in Holland, as the company renovates its original 240,000-square-foot building.

The company filed an application with Holland City Council for a new PA-198 tax abatement for the proposed renovation off 146th Avenue near I-196, opened in 2010.

The project would introduce new technology and increase production capacity, for a total investment of $81,898,076.

It would be the third construction project in the works at LG. The company is currently finishing its second facility, a $1.7 billion investment. Mass production is expected to begin there in 2025. Another $2.5 billion project is currently in the planning stages.

A public hearing is scheduled for the latest request at 6 p.m. on June 5 at Holland City Hall. Should everything go according to plan, upgrades and modifications to the building would begin in late 2024.
