12/6/12 - Genoa Township officials are hoping new signage will help better guide visitors toward its expanded recreational offerings. Board members approved moving forward with installing a freeway-oriented township park sign at its meeting Monday night. The board approved three separate bid awards totaling nearly $39,000 for the eco-friendly signage and related work to install it along the municipalityâs I-96 frontage, which will read âGenoa Parkâ. Member Linda Rowell was opposed. Officials have been working over the past few years to not only brand the municipality but expand offerings to residents. Some work has included the construction of a playground and athletic fields, bathroom facilities and a sled hill on the township hall property on Dorr Road. The feedback from residents has been very positive but officials also field inquiries from individuals outside of the community who notice the playground equipment while traveling along I-96. With all of the work being done, officials felt signage along I-96 was appropriate to guide visitors to the municipal park and other facilities. (JM)
