Canton Township Supervisor Pat
Williams noted a five-year development
plan, and told Trustee Steven Sneideman
using property tax money can't be the solu-
tion.
“There's going to be more senior citi-
zens,”Williams said. “The nation is aging.”
Williams has asked township legal
staffers several times about approaching
the issue, and he, too, noted zoning law dic-
tates strong limits on keeping facilities out
or limiting locations.
“We cannot. It's illegal,” said Williams.
“There's going to be a significant chal-
lenge,” including staffing to meet emer-
gency vehicle run needs of an older popula-
tion.
At the meeting, municipal officials
agreed the Southeast Michigan Council of
Governments and the Michigan State
Housing Development Authority are good
sources for senior housing data.
Also at the meeting, Canton resident
Mike Schultz expressed concerns about
paying property taxes. Canton Township is
seeking a 1.45-mill yes vote on the August
primary ballot tohelp repair roads.
“And yet we're stuck with it,” Schultz
said of a recent Wayne RESA school tax.
Schultz said he wondered about home val-
ues related to taxes inCanton.
“The DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts)
couldn't make it, the (Detroit) Zoo couldn't
make it,” Schultz said of other recent
regional tax votes. Schultz told the board
members that he heard recently on the
radio of many people who don't have $400
saved.
