MARQUETTE The Michigan Department of Transportation and Marquette Township officials will hold a virtual public meeting at 6 p.m. April 20 to discuss the upcoming U.S. 41/M-28 rebuilding project.
The presentation will provide information on a $9.2 million project to resurface nearly three miles of highway and build a non-motorized pathway in Marquette Township, with work scheduled from May to November. There will be lane closures, night work and local detours through this period, according to MDOT.
As this area is the busiest route in the Upper Peninsula with traffic counts of up to 33,000 vehicles daily efforts will be taken to minimize the impact of traffic flow during heaviest traffic periods, officials said.

MARQUETTE The Marquette Township Board moved toward allowing both medical and recreational marijuana establishments within its boundaries on Tuesday.
The board approved the first reading of proposed zoning ordinance amendments related to marijuana establishments, along with the proposed Medical Marijuana Facilities and Adult Use Marijuana Establishments Licensing and Regulatory ordinance, that could allow permitting of up to two growers, two processors, two secure transporters, four provisioning centers/marijuana retailers, two safety compliance facilities, three microbusinesses and one event organizer.
Marquette Township Planner/Zoning Administrator Jason McCarthy said if the proposed changes are enacted, it is not a guarantee that prospective businesses can simply open up and begin operation.
