Edenville Township has many opportunities for rewarding involvement. Would you like to join or support our Fire Department? Are you concerned about the weeds in the lake? Do you want to help plan the future growth of the Township. Would you like to help develop a new park or improve the existing one? Are you interested in the history of this area? Do you have a specific expertise or just want to make a difference in your community? If you would like to learn more about the various Township committees and how you might help, please contact me.

I am a proponent of the “Tiny House” Movement.  I encourage the public to send the township responses to how they feel about possibly changing our Zoning Ordinance in a tailored way to meet this growing industry.  Please review the below links and let me know your thoughts at supervisor@edenvillletwp.org.
