SUPERVISORS CORNER I hope all is well with you and your families after the spring floods and winter iceing, we have had a very precarious start to 2026. But we have survived and now look forward to spring and all the new growth and the healing of the trees and ground as the waters recede and the new flowers bloom. It all goes on as before with, possibly, some minor changes. We will adapt and proceed as we have to with the changes that result. Fix what got broken and replant what may have been lost. It will all come back, some just a little different than before. It is all about change, whether we want it or not, it will always happen.Speaking of change, we will again be experiencing some of this ourselves. About mid-summer, to the best of my understanding of the project schedule, MDOT will be replacing the stop light downtown. They will be removing the existing lights and installing new poles and cross-arm lights that face each lane. It will take a couple of weeks and will cause disruptions in the downtown area, so be aware and pass this on to others in the community so that they are aware also and can plan accordingly. MDOT will actually be performing this change-out at four others intersections in the county through the summer and early fall.We have met with Spectrum and the district library regarding the move and they are shooting for the middle of June to have their fiber installed and ready to go. We will wait until that work is complete before we start the packing and move operation. We are looking for volunteers to help with the book packing and unpacking. We will move the shelving since we installed it years ago, as well as the desks and hutch. If you are interested in helping please contact our office or call Cheryl at the library. We will contact any volunteers with a proposed date and time as our plans become firmer. The same is the case with the historical museum which will move later in the summer or early in the fall. Depending on the weather and prepping the new location for their move.You may have noticed that we had to remove some trees in the downtown due to sight line problems. The trees had become a viewing obstruction to trucks coming from the east at the intersection and also were a concern with the new stoplight configuration. We plan to add a bench and planter at one location and have the stumps ground at all locations.The garden club has commissioned a sculpture by a local artist for the gazebo area. We hope to have it installed by this summer. They are raising funds themselves for this as they want it to be from the community to the community. You can contact them by calling Bev Mason at 989-305-8823.I want to thank the historical commission for their wonderful program on the Edmund Fitzgerald that was held on April 16. We had over 70 people from all over the state attend the program and the speaker was entertaining as well as informative. They have told me that many people that could not attend have asked for another program from this presenter. They are looking at a possible second program in the near future. Keep checking and we will keep you informed. The historical group has a program scheduled for September 19th at 2 pm here, with Phil Naud on the CCC, their camps and work programs in Iosco County. Please mark your calendars for this date. Phil is a known scholar on the CCC and their roles and impacts in northern Michigan.Consider a membership at the Community Center and Eagle Point Plaza. You can come and enjoy pickleball at any time, yoga, cardio drumming, fitness training, walking or some more intense TOWANDA. Whatever your need we probably have some form of activity to assist you. So stop in and see Roma about a membership. We would love to see you. When you’re here stop in on Tuesdays to the Plainfield Township Historical Museum. They have great displays of our community throughout history and how our members lived long ago. The members do a great job preserving and showcasing our heritage. As always if you ever have any questions, comments or concerns regarding our community please contact me. I am in the office Monday – Friday 7:30 – 4:00 at 989-728-2811 or my cell at 989-984-7073 or by email supervisor@plainfieldtwpmi.com. Fred Lewis – Supervisor Plainfield Township ... See MoreSee Less
