The board scheduled a regular meeting to be held in person at the Fenton Township Civic Community Center and accessible electronically via Zoom.

The board meeting addressed several key business items, including the approval of expenditures and the awarding of a contract for the Jennings Road sanitary sewer extension project, which resulted in significant cost savings. The board also approved the continuation of a cooperative agreement for the Community Development Block Grant Program for the 2027-2029 funding cycle. Additionally, the board discussed and adopted the US 23 corridor sub-area plan, focusing on infrastructure needs, appropriate land use classifications, and addressing public concerns regarding the rural character of the area.

The Planning Commission meeting agenda includes a public hearing on a conditional rezoning request, the consideration of the Fenton Township US23 Subarea Plan for adoption and recommendation to the Township board, and a requested amendment to the Miller Industries PUD Ordinance. New business items cover a preliminary site plan approval for an industrial building and a review of draft zoning ordinance amendments concerning lot coverage and setback requirements.

The commission held public hearings regarding the Fenton Township US23 Subarea Plan and a PUD amendment request for Miller Industries. Concerns were raised by residents about traffic, drainage, potential industrial impacts, and consistency with the township's Master Plan. The commission ultimately voted to postpone further review of the subarea plan and the Miller Industries PUD amendment. Additionally, the commission reviewed a request for preliminary site plan approval for an industrial building and received informational reports regarding historical lot and building size regulations.

The Fenton Township Board will hold a regular meeting to conduct township business. The meeting is scheduled to take place at the Fenton Township Civic Community Center, with options for the public to participate in person or electronically via Zoom.
