VBT Recreation Committee seeking input on design of community center

Van Buren Township is seeking input on designing a new community center at the township hall, 46425 Tyler Rd.
“Last year we sent residents a feasibly study,” said VBT Supervisor Kevin McNamara. “The study showed that 76% of the residents wanted some type of community center that could include an indoor track and bigger workout facilities.
“Nothing is set in stone. We’re looking for everyone’s feedback on what they want this community center to include and asking the public to take part in designing a center that they can enjoy for years to come.”
To review the Community Center Study and report visit: https://vanburen-mi.org/community-center-study-seeking-input/.
Residents who would like to submit input and feedback can do so in four different ways:
