5/7/13- Genoa Township sought the feedback of its residents through a recent mailed survey. The purpose of the survey was to get residentâs opinions regarding taxes they would be willing to support and what they would like to see done with certain land. Residents who responded to the survey said they were most willing to support taxes that aid road maintenance. There are two proposed ideas for the land south of the Latson Road Interchange that were popular among Genoa residents. Most residents would like to see the land remain rural, while others would like to see it used as some sort of campus. Possibilities include a hospital, business headquarters, or even a university, but nothing official has been proposed. Assistant Township Manager Kelly VanMarter says this survey was just a step in what will be a very long process before a decision is made. Board members agree that the survey shed light on what residents support in the area, but will not be a basis for any decision due to the variables that exist with the actual survey process. There will be multiple public hearings and meetings before the Genoa Township Board of Trustees and Planning Commission before a decision is made regarding the Land Use Master Plan. (SO)
