Strategic Action Plan
Supports to Spread “Zeel” in 2026

Letter from the Mayor
Welcome to the City of Zeeland. Since our incorporation in 1907, and inspired by our Dutch heritage, Zeeland has grown into a vibrant community that values connection, collaboration, and progress.
Zeeland is proud to be a place where people choose to live, work, and raise families. Our community is built on strong partnerships among residents, businesses, schools, churches, and local government. This cooperative spirit shapes how we plan, how we grow, and how we care for one another.
The City of Zeeland is committed to thoughtful, sustainable growth. Through state-supported incentives, city-owned utilities, and reliable infrastructure, we strive to create an environment that supports local businesses while maintaining the quality of life our residents value. These efforts have helped Zeeland remain resilient and adaptable in a changing economy.
What truly sets Zeeland apart is its people. Our workforce is known for its strong work ethic, skill, and sense of pride in the community. That commitment — along with an engaged citizenry — continues to strengthen our local economy and civic life.
Working together is at the heart of Zeeland’s success. The Zeeland City Council, City staff, and I work closely with our community partners and residents to ensure Zeeland remains a welcoming, forward-looking city.
Whether you are visiting, considering Zeeland as your home, or already part of our community, we invite you to explore our city and stay connected as we continue to grow together.
Sincerely,
Richard Van Dorp III
Mayor, City of Zeeland
