MAPLE GROVE TWP. – On Monday, March 19, the Maple Grove Township Board will hold its regular monthly meeting, which is expected to be held at the Maple Grove Township Hall, 17010 Lincoln Road, New Lothrop.

Several citizens would like to discuss the potential for wind turbines to be built in the community and would like to know where the township stands on the issue.

A group of residents who formed a Facebook group called Informed Citizens of Maple Grove Township are aware that a company identified as Shiawassee Wind Project, LLC has already contracted with several property owners in Saginaw County, including Maple Grove and Chesaning Township property owners.
