1. Developer to cover 62.5 percent of the cost of upgrading Union Township’s sewer system
In Michigan, work has begun on the first phase of a planned upgrade of Union Township’s sewer system to
keep up with current and expected growth.
Campus Crest Communities of Charlotte, N.C., led by CEO
Ted Rollins plans to build 216 units of high-end student
housing off Isabella Road between Bluegrass and Broomfield
roads.
Since the current pumping station serving that neighborhood
doesn’t have enough capacity to handle that, the developer
has agreed to pick up about 62.5 percent of the cost of
upgrading.
According to The Morning Sun of Central Michigan, Crews
from Porath Contractors of Houghton Lake have begun work
on adding a 4,000-foot-long, 12-inch sewer main along
Deerfield Road.
The $274,000 project will add substantial capacity to handle sewage flows from the apartment complexes
along Deerfield Road just south of the Mt. Pleasant city limits, as well as from other residential development in
the southwest part of the township.
Improvements at the township’s Lift Station No. 2 on Isabella Road are expected to start soon, as well. RCL
Construction of Sanford was the low bidder at $183,700.
And with even more development expected in Union Township, plans are being made for an upgrade of
another pumping station to handle that.
