As a senior in our community I’m a little concerned that more people are not trying to convince the township council to come up with a plan to help seniors by supplying them with a few more physical activities.

They seem to be going in the right direction by buying great real estate - the abandoned public schools. To me this would be an excellent opportunity to not only supply an outlet for the existing population but also to encourage others to retire in this area.

For example the school grounds could be converted to: a curling rink; tennis and volleyball courts; climbing wall and skate board park; outdoor fitness center; a better auditorium for the NF Little Theater; artifact museum; public washrooms; move the Library making more room for the township offices; create a small strip mall to encourage small business; a meeting place coffee shop; public housing; more public parking … the list goes on.

But I, for one, would like to see different visual planning proposals and have a public poll on which plan the community could possible agree on - or at least be able to put their two cents worth in if there are tax dollars involved.
