They say location is important sometimes. In Emmett Township, smack between Battle Creek and the expected Ford BlueOval Battery Park Michigan in Marshall, the location is the perfect spot for a new water line project. Why?
Well, Battle Creek will supply water to the Ford plant – and Emmett Township will be the pass-through for that water. Emmett Township Supervisor Deb Belles tells Community Matters how that whole situation means free water upgrades there – a project on which Emmett was expecting to spend millions.
She also updates listeners on 2024 roadwork and a potential interest in remodeling the Emmett Township hall.
