MONTAGUE — Montague Township's board continued its recent discussions of what to do with the township's senior millage allocation at Tuesday's regular meeting.
The board has attempted to generate ideas the past few months on how to spend the millage. The idea that seems most attractive to the board is providing and distributing green address markers to seniors in the township. This would allow emergency personnel such as police, ambulances and fire crews to more easily identify the homes of seniors who call seeking emergency services. To get an idea of how many seniors would be interested in this, an informational section will be included in the township newsletter.
The remainder of the millage is slated to be spent on installing an informational shadowbox and a hand rail on the ramp outside of the township hall. The shadowbox will be used to post important information and updates directly outside that will be easily accessible to community members. The township also signed an agreement with CatchMark Technology to install two new television screens in the hall. One will be installed in the large space used for public meetings and elections, the other inside a space used for various private board meetings.
The board disclosed that the chip and seal project that was approved earlier this year for Walsh Road has been scheduled for some time in August.
