During his “State of the Township” Address, Big Rapids Township Supervisor Bill Stanek has a big vision for the future and what the township could be.

Along with reflecting over his last four years in office and what the township accomplished during that time, Stanek called on board members to look at issues that would benefit its township residents like a new fire hall addition and repairing more roads. "Our township has changed considerably and so has firefighting techniques.

After looking at many options, the most economical improvement was to stay here and add on to the current building," He said.  "We have been saving up for three years and finally have the money to add on."

Other issues Stanek would like the township board to consider this year is what to do with the 1884 building at Highland View Cemetery.
