Having a great day meeting more residents of Liberty Township. Meeting the residents and understanding their concerns and what they want from their government is my favorite part of the job.

Answer To Dispatch Question #3

How can the township be proactive as development begins along the new stretch of Sawmill Parkway?
Mike Gemperline
I think that the township and the city should consider a mutually agreed upon zoning overlay along the new Sawmill Parkway. Together the city and the township can determine how we want the Sawmill Parkway Extension to be developed. We need representatives who are willing to work together on an agreed upon plan that will keep our community beautiful, keep traffic flowing, and benefit our schools. Then we need to stand united to see that that vision is followed. Otherwise developers will continue to take advantage of our community. The township and the city have to be on the same page and have each others' backs. This collaboration will take time and we need representatives who have the free time to put into this effort. My children are grown up and I am winding down my career. I have the time and the passion to lead this effort. We have got to get together on this now and stop allowing developers to exploit our community or the Parkway will be a disaster.
