The Montague Township board signed a contract for construction work to begin on Henderson Road at its regular meeting Tuesday night. Construction is planned for spring or summer 2025 and will cost $147,000.
This decision is a result of continuous requests for repair from Henderson Road residents. The board officially decided to move forward with the project and finding a construction company at November’s meeting.
All township board members who were reelected during the November election - Tracy Korthase, Jay Goodrich and Jacob Seaver - were sworn in for their new terms at Tuesday’s meeting. They all said they look forward to continuing to serve the Montague Township community. The board clarified information regarding incoming funds the township is receiving for the senior millage. They are brainstorming ideas on what to do with the money. There is currently $2,600 remaining from the last millage, and the township is expected to receive $11,000 for the new senior millage in 2025 that was renewed in November’s election. Conversation arose of using the funds for a possible senior voucher system for the new athletic center being built at Montague High School, which is set to open spring 2025. No action was taken on the topic.
