Dear Editor,
This fall, Independence Township will have a new Senior Center building useful to the entire community.
The initiative the Township Board took on June 5 when they approved the building of a 2100-sq.-ft. temporary structure took courage.
Their action spoke volumes.
Each board member has gone on record in support of this endeavour and should be commended for their stand.
They wanted to and needed to ‘do what was right? for residents even though two millages had been rejected by voters.
Thanks to board members Charles Dunn, Dan Kelly, Larry Rosso, Dan Travis, Shelagh Vanderveen, Dave Wagner and Jim Wenger for acting responsibly by approving this proposal.
Our community needs a safe and useful center. In a few months we will have it.
The mission of the Senior Center is to enable older adults, 50 plus, in our community to participate in services and programs that promote wellness, safety and enrichment.
I anticipate a new building will give greater awareness in programs and services and a substantial growth in usage will occur because of it. And that will be good for all Independence Township residents, young and old.
