The Village of Kingsley has recently awarded a project to Molon Excavating, Inc. known as the 4-inch Watermain Upgrade Project. The project consists of replacing 3,025 feet of 4-inch lead-joint watermain, including asphalt replacement, concrete curb, gutter, sidewalk and pavement markings as impacted within the project limits. The contractor will begin with Madison and Elm Street. The project limits include:

*Madison Street from Elm to N Brownson: approximately 630 ft
*Elm Street from West Main (M-113) to Case: approximately 850 ft
*Blair Street from Clark to Elm: approximately 625 ft
*Dennis Street from Spring to South Brownson: approximately 370 ft
*Spring Street from Fenton to South Brownson: approximately 550 ft

This project will occur during the 2024 construction season and is slated to begin on August 12, 2024, with an anticipated completion date of October 30, 2024. You may see Wade Trim, MISS Dig, Molon Excavating, or GFL marking utilities, installing signage, and completing other related work. GFL will be televising the sewer lines in conjunction with the watermain work within the project limits. The contractor plans to work Monday – Saturday, except for Labor Day Weekend.

This work will cause disruptions to pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Appropriate signage will be in place. The roads and sidewalks will be closed to thru traffic; however, access to homes will always be maintained. If possible, please use alternate routes avoiding this area to reduce congestion, delays, and promote worker safety.

DISRUPTION TO WATER SERVICE

Homeowners within the project limits will temporarily have their water shut off when their service is switched from the old watermain to the new watermain. This will be a short disruption, and the contractor will knock on your door prior to making the switch.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation. If you have questions, comments, or additional concerns please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 231-263-7778.

I’m still smiling about the big turnout supporting Camp Greilick as a County Park.

7:00pm Tuesday night meeting at Acme Twp.

But to be fair to Acme Twp, the GTC Road Commission board will make the first decision on this.

I will be working with the GTC Road Commissioners to express all the reasons that this section of road shoukd absolutely be protected by remaining a county road.

Please come to the public engagement session on the future of Camp Greilick as your county park.

We really want to show you the County Parks and Rec’s ideas so far after past input, and get more input from you - the people that will enjoy the park.

6pm Monday night August 12, 2024.

Today’s Traverse City Record Eagle.

You hear a lot of ads for protecting your property title, for a monthly fee.

Here is a way you can help protect your Grand Traverse County property from fraud - for FREE!

Thank you to constituent Tim B for telling me about this GT County service.

Property Fraud | Grand Traverse County, MI Property fraud is when someone uses your property for financial gain.

I want to thank everyone who voted for me in the August 6th Primary Election on Tuesday.

I received more votes than any other County Commission candidate! - on both Republican or Democrat ballots.

I am humbled by your confidence.
I work every day to earn your trust.

I hope I can continue to do my job as a commissioner so that you will vote to return me to this role in November.

We wanted to give Arlo a shout-out after completing his first day of flight training with Giving Wings.

He's a TC Central High School Junior in the SciMaTech program. He also works here at the airport at Cherry Country Cafe taking care of all the guests food and drink needs!

He plans to become a commercial pilot and was excited to get started with his private license. Great job Arlo and continued success ✈️👨‍✈️
