9/20/14 - Now that solid numbers are known, homeowners within a Genoa Township subdivision will need to decide if they still want to proceed with a street reconstruction project. The roads within the Timberview subdivision were installed in the 1970âs or 80âs and have held up over the years but have basically reached the end of their useful life. Homeowners in the subdivision have been trying to establish a special assessment district for the past few years to fix their streets but determining the scope of the project proved to be a challenge. They solicited bids and quotes on their own but there were other estimates floating around that differed significantly. Genoa Township Supervisor Gary McCririe tells WHMI the board earlier approved an engineering services proposal to come up with solid numbers for the project to provide to residents. McCririe says the township will now be asking if the homeowners want the project to move forward, and if so, those residents will need to re-circulate petitions at the new amount. The board also decided it would be proper to explore a seven year payback term instead of six for any assessment, should the residents decide to move forward with the project. (JM)
