9/17/14 - Hartland Township is making the shift from roads to parks when it comes to a citizens task force. The township board met Tuesday and appointed various citizens to serve on the Parks Task Force, which will be looking at what to do next when it comes to developing those in the community. Township Manager James Wickman says theyâre excited to be transitioning and taking another look at what to next with the parks. He says whatâs most important will be understanding what residents want and their vision for the gathering areas and whether active or passive parks. The Parks Task Force will be working to identify different projects, their priority and phases, costs and a realistic funding plan to put those in place. No formal number has been identified for the body but there were more than 20 citizens who served on the Roads Task Force. The Parks Task Force is expected to begin meeting soon and there are some additional applicants that will likely be appointed to it at the next board meeting. Itâs expected to meet three or four times to review projects but will have a continuing role as plans are phased in during the coming years. (JM)
