11/8/12 - A Green Oak Township company received a tax abatement last night from the board. Brighton NC Machine requested the abatement for their personal property taxes after agreeing to install over 2 million dollarsâ worth of equipment into their facility. Mark St. Charles, Green Oak Township supervisor, tells WHMI the fabricating and machining company has held steadfast despite economic troubles. Also discussed last night was Tuesdayâs approval by voters of a millage that is set to re-engineer a list of roads in the area. Changes to the roads include re-paving, graveling, wider shoulders and possibly bike paths on the side of the roads. St. Charles says the majority of the cost will be mobilization but with incoming money, it wonât be long before the re-construction begins. With the talk of fixing the roads, St. Charles says there are already residents approaching him about speed limit reductions. Unless the State Police decide otherwise, and the Michigan Department of Transportation concurs, those will remain the same. (DK/JK)
