Under Old Business: Changes to the Comprehensive Plan were discussed. Minor changes were made. Betsey will get changes to Ben VanTassel of ARDC. Upon the completion of these final changes, the Plan will be presented to the Board of Supervisors of the Township for their approval.
ARDC suggested that the Township send a letter to St. Louis Co. requesting them to repeat a traffic count that was done last summer.
