9/6/13 - The Green Oak Township Board got an update on the upcoming community center project at its meeting this week. The Green Oak Community Center would serve the citizens of the township as well as Lyon Township and the City of South Lyon with the help of the South Lyon Recreation Authority. It is not yet known where it will be located, how it will be funded, or exactly what features it will offer residents, but organizers are working to determine how to best serve the area. The oversight committee for the project has released several surveys to determine what kind of features local residents would like to see in the facility, such as swimming pools, workout rooms, or a senior center. This week, Ron Morelli from that committee spoke to the Green Oak Township Board to inform them that a $15,000 bid has been accepted for the conceptual building design of the building. Morelli says the next step is to meet with specific groups in the area to discuss what exactly they would want included in the facility. He says the it could cost between $10 and $20 million, and if it does not provide the services people want to use then it will be a waste of money. The actual implementation of the project is still several years away. (TD)
