Trustees hatch park expansion gambit BY DEAN VAGLIA

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Officials have a plan to expand the township’s park space, but will they get the grant funding needed to make it happen? On March 17, the Clinton Township Board of Trustees approved the submission of a grant application to buy the property at 21272 Belleview St., located within the boundaries of George George and Woodrow Woody parks. Ap-
praised at $380,000, the grant request calls for $400,000, factoring in a match from the township and additional purchasing costs. “The acquisition of this property would be an addition to George George Park and Woodrow Woody Park for future recreation opportunities,” Township Clerk Kim Meltzer said. “The current property owner is a willing seller, which is a requirement of the (Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant) land acquisition application process.”

Located within George George and Woodrow Woody Parks, the property at 21272 Belleview St. is the subject of a grant request from Clinton Township to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

FRASER — Though a hole from a crash at the Fraser Public Library has been fixed, a lot more renovations lie ahead. Lorena McDowell, Fraser Public Library director, said the building at 14 Mile and Freuhauf roads was purchased by the library in the second week of

February. The library purchased the building from the city but has operated out of two temporary locations in a strip mall on 15 Mile Road since the crash. The hole in the wall left after a vehicle struck the building in May 2023 has been filled, but McDowell said the library has to be completely renovated and redone. She said the library has mold and other dangers that pose a threat to the public.
