With a few more projects to go along Deborah Cooper Park on Adrian s Island, a city panel on Tuesday approved a path forward for light fixtures at the new park.
PLAIN TWP. – The township will ask voters this May to approve a levy to support parks operations.
Voters will see a 5-year, 1-mill parks and recreation operation levy on their May 4 primary ballot. The levy, which would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $35 annually, would generate $887,444 a year.
It s the township s second attempt at getting residents to support the parks with tax dollars. Voters rejected a request for a 1.5-mill levy in 2019 by about 350 votes.
Township leaders are more confident about this levy request.
The 2019 request came at a bad time when property owners had just received tax reappraisals. After it failed, the township went back to the drawing board to figure out what voters would approve, said Scott Haws, president of the Plain Township Board of Trustees.
