2020 Township Road Review
The township road review was conducted and was a challenge for supervisors this year because of COVID-19. Each supervisor reviewed a section of roads independently because of the governor's social distancing requirement. Their evaluation of the township roads' needs can be viewed in the minutes of the May 7, 2020 meeting minutes.
Pine County's Beacon site will provide information about properties in the township.
