It has been a busy year in the Township. Building permits issued for new homes, remodeling, and pole barns have been more than the total of the last two years combined. This is a good sign that Fillmore Township is continuing to grow. We are continuing to look at areas in the Township to extend water and sewer infrastructure.
At our January Board meeting we will be looking at conceptual drawings for a recreational area along 143rd Ave. If you have ideas of what you would like to see there, or have questions about what we are thinking, please come to the meeting.
Our newly revised Fillmore Township Zoning Ordinance was adopted at our August Board meeting. Copies of the Ordinance are available at the Township Office. I'd like to thank the Planning Commission members for their hard work in bringing the Zoning Ordinance up to date. This was an 18 month project and they did an excellent job.
We will be forming a Fillmore Township wewbsite, Fillmoretownship.com. this will make information about the Township available any time you need it. We will be discussing what to include on the website at our upcoming Board meeting. Your input is appreciated.
Over 4 miles of road have been resurfaced this year. In cooperation with Overisel Township we resurfaced a one mile section of 48th St. with a four inch overlay. this is the same section of road we reconstructed two years ago. A lot of questions remain as to why this road did not hold up. We are aawaiting an answer to this from the Allegan County Road Commission.
The annual Township meeting will be held the first Saturday in April. We hope to see you there. Your support is greatly appreciated.
The Township Board wish you a safe and happy holiday season!
