School Section Lake Boat Launch
PlanningThe board is aware of the imminent need for dredging at the boat launch. We have applied for a dredging permit through EGLE in hopes of addressing the issue as soon as possible. We are waiting for the permit to be processed as of this writing.
Colfax Township continues to work with the School Section Lake Association and concerned citizens on the issue. Please check the respective township and SSLA websites for updates as more information becomes available.

Township Blight Ordinance
PlanningThe township continues to receive complaints about increasing instances of blight and unsafe conditions associated with junk-strewn properties and dilapidated structures. The Colfax Township Board acknowledged the need to address these concerns at the June meeting.
Several options are being considered, including possible adoption of a township blight ordinance. The board is preparing to appoint a joint township/citizen blight committee to study potential solutions. Please consider participating so all voices can be heard on this important subject.

Township Master Plan
PlanningA master plan is a comprehensive long-range guide that shapes a township's future by establishing goals and policies for land use, development, infrastructure, and community character.
The township is considering the need for a Master Plan. Formulation of a Master Plan would require a committee to steer its content and direction. If you are interested in providing input or being part of the committee, please contact the township board.
