Civic Center to be named after Cannon BY NICK POWERS
npowers@candgnews.com
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Clinton Township Civic Center was named after Bob Cannon in a surprise agenda item at the Board of Trustees meeting on Nov. 12. Township Clerk Kim Meltzer read out the resolution, which laid out Cannon’s 40 years of accomplishments as a trustee and later as the township supervisor. Township employees crowded the podium led by Deputy Supervisor Dan O’Leary who spoke about the changes the township went through during Cannon’s tenure. Cannon seemed genuinely surprised by the gesture
with tears welling up in his eyes during discussion of the item. The Civic Center will be rebranded the “Robert J. Cannon Civic Center,” according to a rendering provided in the packet for the meeting. Lettering for the civic center will go above the entryway. “I’m glad I didn’t have to wait until I died,” Cannon said. Cannon estimated that he had been to approximately 1,200 board meetings in his career. He acknowledged that along the way he had made mistakes and said public service jobs can be tough.

FRASER — Eighteen months after a vehicle crashed through one of the walls at the Fraser Public Library, the library is taking a step toward reoccupying the building. The library has been located in two spaces in a strip mall near the intersection of 15 Mile Road and Hayes Road since the crash on May 21, 2023. The temporary location officially opened its doors July 1, 2023. The city, which owned the building, agreed to sell it to the library for $1 days before the crash occurred. A unanimous vote from the Fraser City Council reaffirmed that purchase agreement at its Nov. 14 meeting. Fraser City Attorney Donald DeNault said no substantive changes were made to the original 2023 agreement. The building has been around for quite a while. The oldest portion dates back to 1884 and was part of a school related to Saint John Lutheran Church, accord-
