The Hamburg Township Board plans to make determinations to hold future meetings either in-person or virtually based on anticipated participants.
The board earlier adopted a resolution declaring a State of Emergency or SOE, which was needed to allow virtual meetings to continue for the board and other bodies such as the Planning Commission and committees.
The board met virtually on Tuesday afternoon and Supervisor Pat Hohl said based on technical issues; itâs pretty cumbersome for staff to do any type of blended meeting. He said with recent changes, the board can hold a regular meeting at the township hall off Merrill Road with masks and social distancing.

Environmental remediation work is continuing at a contaminated site in Hamburg Township to eventually make way for new development.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy or EGLE granted the township an extension of a Brownfield Redevelopment grant and loan for the former Hoskins Manufacturing site on Hall Road. At a recent virtual meeting, the township board approved the contract extension. The township has just been facilitating the Brownfield Redevelopment. It was stated that there is no cost to the township involved, which is acting as the necessary facilitator for state money to reimburse the developer for the work theyâre doing.
