Big Rapids Township Supervisor Bill Stanek is preparing for his second annual State of the Township address next week. Stanek is encouraging anyone with an interest in the township to attend.

“We'd like to invite all of our Township residents, and those that are even interested in the Township, to come on in – it will only take about a half hour and then we'll have some public time for suggestions.”

Stanek wouldn't tip his hand as to what will be in his speech, but notes there's good reason to show up.

“To find out what we're really looking at five years down the road, ten years down the road, and my challenge to the [Township] Board.”

The address will be at the Big Rapids Township Fire Hall at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, January 10th.
