Water Survey Ordered for Industrial Site Plan
The Clare City Commission authorized an immediate study of costs and legal steps to extend water and sanitary sewer services outside the city to Grant township industrial sites. City Manager Clarence Gunn was directed to complete the study within thirty days, with plans for a future industrial park along Maple Road and sites near the old Watervliet yard. Local officials emphasized the project’s urgency to attract industry and noted that septic systems would be inadequate. state health officials had been consulted, and Lansing expressed favorable reaction to extending services. A timetable targets engineering survey within a month and construction by October, with Grant Township to share installation costs via expected tax benefits. Clare also reported options to purchase a 55-acre tract near US-27 and I-75, and Cedar Park restrictions were lifted to allow overnight trailer stays to attract tourists.
