MACOMB TOWNSHIP — On Jan. 7, the Macomb Township Board of Trustees voted unanimously to sue Consumers Energy over access to a road easement. “There is a proposed connection, two connections to existing sub streets that would go out to Hayes Road that Consumers has now denied us and the developer,” Township Supervisor Frank Viviano said. “The township views that denial as a public safety risk.”
