Plymouth Township and the City of Plymouth are conducting a first-of-its-kind
Joint Recreation Master Plan. A Recreation Master Plan is required by State
Law and often by other governmental and private funding sources, and must
be developed every five years. The joint master plan should enhance our
ability to attract grants, and may lead to enhanced recreational opportunities
between our two communities. After two public meetings, and additional
input sessions with the City Commission and Board of Trustees, our
consultants continue to develop the plan with a target date of May 1.
Citizens’ Committee Planning For Future Of Golf Course
Plymouth Township’s Hilltop Golf
Course has been struggling in
recent years as people seek different
recreation opportunities. As a result,
your township government has been
losing money on Hilltop, and lacks the
funds needed to improve it. A special
Golf Course Study Group, made up of
two Trustees and 5 members of the general public, are meeting until the end
of April to review our current financial situation at Hilltop, and how we can
either improve or repurpose the golf course for new recreational options. The
public is invited to attend all meetings of the Golf Course Committee and pro-
vide input. Meetings are generally the first and third Tuesdays of the month
at 7 p.m. at Township Hall; please check the Township’s website and Facebook
page for exact updates on meetings.

Protect our waterways – keep storm drains clean!We all live on a lake or stream. We might not
be able to see it from our window, but it’s there.
It might be a small stream or ditch or even the
storm drain in the street. All of these lead to a
river or lake.
Many people think industries dumping chemicals
are the source of water pollution, but the truth
is our water can also be harmed by things we do
every day at home. When it rains, water washes
over lawns, sidewalks, and streets. In addition to
litter, this water picks up chemicals found in lawn
fertilizers, bacteria found in pet waste, and oil from cars. This polluted water
then enters roadside ditches and the storm drains found in our streets.
Then large pipes carry the storm water to the closest lake or stream.

Community & Environmental News
Plymouth Township Citizens Advisory Council Resumes in 2018The Plymouth Township Citizens Advisory
Council is returning in 2018. It’s a way for
residents to get involved and play an active
part in planning our community’s future.
This volunteer group plays an important role
in working with the Township Board of
Trustees in our policy-making process. It is
vital that we get feedback from the community
and all Plymouth Township residents are
invited to participate.
We are looking for volunteers who are
interested in serving on one or more of the
following committees:
» Public Safety
» Municipal Finance
» Local Infrastructure
» Environmental Stewardship
The Citizens Advisory Council will meet at
least twice a year, but the committees will be
asked to meet at least four times a year. The
committees will review and discuss township
issues, and help the Township Board with
ideas to improve the community.
If you have any questions, please contact
Supervisor Heise at 734.354.3201 or email
