Island Park Project Gearing Up

Plans are moving forward, applications have been submitted and funds are secured for the first phase of Danford Island Park. A Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant and a generous donation from George Danford Jr. will make this dream a reality in 2013. Planned park improvements include a permanent bridge to the island, parking, paths to the river, an accessible canoe launch and an overlook. Fundraising efforts will continue for future development on the island (pathways, historical markers, a pavilion, an overlook, etc.) and donations can be made to the Village of Dimondale. It's taken a village and a couple of decades to bring this plan to life and we still have a way to go. Public access to the Grand River is a priority in the Recreation

Master Plan and Danford Island Park is the next step in our plan to bring residents and visitors in touch with this precious natural resource.

West Washington To Get a Lift

In coordination with the Island Park improvements, West Washington Street will receive a much needed facelift. Reconstruction of the road and drainage improvements will comprise the bulk of this work. Stay tuned for more information on both projects.
