PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich.— Shoppers will have even more time to enjoy the Plainfield Township Farmer’s Market this year.

The market will open for the season on June 10 with longer hours, from noon to 6 p.m.  As in previous years, the market will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays through October 9.   The Plainfield Township Farmer’s Market will be located at 4411 Plainfield Avenue NE in front of Frontline Church, located at the corner of 5 Mile Road and Plainfield Avenue.  Organizers say dozens of vendors have signed up to showcase their wares, produce and flowers at the market.  This year’s vendors include three bakeries, a beekeeper, kettle corn producer, an organic meat purveyor and more.  

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich.—The public is encouraged to attend a hearing June 12 to weigh in on proposed upgrades to the township’s sewer system.

The $6 million project would include:

• Constructing approximately 6,000 feet of 12‐inch sanitary sewer and installing new manholes from Ten Mile Road to the Childsdale Avenue area.
• Removing and replacing six northerly trunk sewer inverted siphons located under the Rogue River with river crossing pipe.
• Improve flood protection at the Forest Ridge Lift Station.
• Improve the collection system at the Comstock Park Area Trunk Sewer.

The project would lead to higher operation and maintenance costs for the fiscal year, costing each resident an additional $2.40 per month.

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich.—Community members are encouraged to weigh in on a tax break request for a company that’s expanding.

AvaSure, LLC is asking for a three-year abatement on $57,500 worth of personal property, with the possibility of a five-year extension on the tax incentive.

The meeting will start at 7 p.m. on Monday, May 19 at the Township Offices, located at 6161 Belmont Avenue NE.
