Over the years the Township has continued to expand funding to maintain our local roads. The Road Committee has diligently worked on policy recommendations to the Board along with recommendations on which roads to address over the next year. The Board recently adopted a new policy to address funding and will be looking at ways to increase funds dedicated to our roads during the current budget review for the 2018-19 budget.
The breakdown of the roads within the Township include
The Township receives $30,000 a year from the County as a match towards maintaining our local through roads. The County does not provide any match for Neighborhood roads/streets as this work is contracted out by the County. With the average cost of maintenance or reconstruction running from $40,000 to $200,000 a mile (depending on work needed), you can see the difficulty in meeting the funding needs for Township Roads as the Township collects less than $200,000 in property taxes a year.
The Township will be creating a portion of the website to be dedicated to our roads so that you can have a better understanding of what type of work is being done, which roads are involved, and estimated time for completion, as well as the policies that have been adopted by the Board regarding prioritization and funding.
Ingham County Road Department is responsible for maintenance on Township roads. Please call the Road Department with maintenance issues such as potholes. 517-676-9722.
