2025 May Recap Planning Commission & Board Meeting
đź“° The Spring Communicator
By May 2, you should have received the Cannon Township Communicator in your mailbox or PO box.
It’s packed with everything you need to know about what’s happening in our community.
I love coordinating the Communicator—it’s one of the best ways we stay connected across departments.
it’s a joy to see each person’s personality shine through:
Supervisor Grimm always gets me laughing with his candid takes.
Trustee Olson wraps his updates with his trademark: “Wishing you a life well lived in Cannon Township.”
And I hope when you read the business feature or Planning update, you feel a little more proud to live here too.
We could live anywhere—and we choose Cannon Township. That’s pretty awesome.
