Marshall Township residents overwhelmingly oppose the marshall megasite!

Not a single township audience member  spoke in support of the project.

A crowd of 180 people packed into the Marshall Township Hall on January 26, 2023 to express their opposition to the PA 425 land transfer and to the State proposed #marshallmegasite.   Not a single person from Marshall Township spoke in favor of the plan which will consume 1,800 acres of township farmland and natural area along 2.5 miles of the Kalamazoo River.  The only people speaking in favor of the proposed plan included letters from several Marshall businesses (City residents) and paid staff of the MEDC, MAEDA, and regional economic development corporations who stand to receive state dollars if the plan moves forward.   The Township board of trustees voted 4 to 1 to approve the land transfer with Township Supervisor, David Bosserd being the only dissenting vote.
