New Library For The Township ?

The Ironwood Township Board of Trustees met last evening in a regularly scheduled meeting. There were two main issues addressed at this session.

The first was a presentation by Tom Schneller, who updated to the board on the water/sewer projects going on in the Charter Township. According to Tom the project is on target although that didn’t appear to be the case two weeks ago, when bad weather slowed the project considerably. However, the recent change in the weather has allowed the project to gain lost time.

Tom told the board that they would be able to shut off the City’s water supply very shortly.

Another item of discussion was the possibility that the Township might be eligible for stimulus money to build their own library. While the has been no formal request for funding, the board members will explore the matter.

The Township may be able to build a library more friendly to its residents especially the elderly who are no longer permitted to use the handicapped accessible rest room on the first floor.

Last year the Unfriendly Friends of the Ironwood Library tried in vein to pressure the township into over paying the city for its library services. Too bad the new contract doesn’t have a rest room clause.
