Valley Township Road Committee

The road committee was formed to evaluate and prioritize needs.
We have received resident requests for repaving
Taft Road and Nethercutt Pointe. The Allegan Road Commission has sent
the following estimates:
As you can see from the estimates, it is very costly. Currently the
Township receives $67,739.00 from the road millage. Of these monies
$25,000 is set aside for the dust control each year. The balance of
$42,739.00 is what we have to maintain and improve roads in the Township.
At the current rate of revenue income, it would be nearly 7 years to
accumulate funds for Taft Road and 3 years for Nethercutt Pointe. Additionally,
the cost for roads increases each year. We are at a place in our development
where we need to discuss a possible increase in the Road Millage in
order to accomplish some projects. The Board will be discussing holding
Township meetings to gather input from our residents on this topic.
We will need your input. Our Valley Road Committee has produced a road
projects priority report. The link to download their current recommendations
is below. Please review this report and let us hear your comments.
