The 2020 census has been completed and boundary lines have been redrawn for federal, state, county, and local jurisdiction precinct boundaries. Boundaries are redrawn in Michigan based on population from the 2020 census information collected. In Late spring, all registered voters received new voter identification cards in the mail that reflect their new precinct polling location. These new precincts will be in effect for the August 2, 2022, Primary Election. To verify where your precinct is located, please click the following link https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/.

Election Day – 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, August 2, 2022. Voters can register at their local Clerk’s Office in person to be eligible to vote on Election Day.

Delta Township residents will have the opportunity to vote in the OPEN PRIMARY ELECTION scheduled for Tuesday, August 2, 2022, throughout the State of Michigan. An open primary has both Democratic and Republican offices on the ballot, but a voter can only vote in one party during the August Primary Election. If a voter “cross-party votes” (votes for candidates in both the Republican and Democratic offices) the partisan section of the ballot will not count. Any non-partisan votes cast on the ballot would be valid votes. If a voter is at the precinct and makes a mistake, they may let an Election Inspector know so the ballot can be spoiled and replaced to vote correctly. If you are voting by absent voter ballot, please contact the Clerk’s Office at 323-8500. The voter will be instructed to seal the ballot in the ballot envelope and write SPOILED on the outside. The envelope is returned in person or by mail and a new ballot will be issued. The August Primary is to “reduce the number of candidates” for each office by the party. Winners in August Primary Election are placed on the General Election ballot on November 8, 2022. If residents will be out of the community on Election Day or need any information regarding the upcoming election, contact the Township Clerk’s Office at 323-8500.

On Tuesday, August 2, 2022, from 5 p.m.to 7 p.m. at Sharp Park in Delta Township, residents throughout Eaton County are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the “Annual National Night Out” crime and drug prevention event.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. This event enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community and provides a great opportunity to bring public safety officers and citizens together under positive circumstances.

Come and enjoy a hot dog bbq (while supplies last), kids activities: strider bikes, an inflatable bounce house, and police/fire vehicles on display.

Thank you to everyone that came out for the 52nd Annual July 3 Fireworks Display this year. Thousands of people from across the Lansing region joined us for this family-friendly event.

Lastly, we especially want to thank our numerous sponsors who help to make this event possible.

The Parks & Recreation 5-Year Master Plan is a document that helps guide the future development of recreation facilities and parks within the Township. While highlighting past accomplishments, this document also provides short and mid-range recommendations for park facilities, programs, and services; maintenance operations; administration and management; and capital improvements. The Township recognizes the important role that recreation plays in providing a high quality of life and improved health of its citizens. Therefore, updates to the master plan must take place on a regular basis to address current facility conditions, as well as community needs. The 5-Year Master Plan is also a necessary document for applying for multiple grants available annually through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

Slice by Saddleback is a new Pizza Restaurant in Lansing. We opened the doors to our first Slice location in January of this year. Saddleback now has four restaurants in the Greater Lansing area, two BBQ locations (Saddleback BBQ), and two Pizza locations (Slice by Saddleback).

Saddleback's Pizza locations pride themselves on our Wood-Fired ovens. In our mind, it puts out the best possible pizza, although it requires the most work.

Our BBQ restaurants have been lucky enough to win some notable accolades, we were named the Best BBQ in Michigan by Mental Floss and the Best Small Business in Michigan by the SBDC.

Saddleback always wanted a location in Delta Township so we could be a part of the booming ecosystem. Being a new company, we’ve been blown away by the support of the community. This award is really the cherry on top, thank you! - Drew Piotrowski

EagleMonk Pub and Brewery is our August Business of the Month!

"As we celebrate our 10 Anniversary doing business in Delta Township we are just as proud today as we were when we opened. Our business has grown to include a large beer garden with live music outside, weather permitting, and a larger offering of craft beer, wine, hard cider, mead, and seltzer. The food menu has evolved over the years with spicier options. We have been supported since before we opened when Dan met with Ed Reed and we were presented with the Business of the Year Award in 2017. Our mug club membership has grown to 2,225 because Delta Township is such a welcoming community, and we are happy to be honored as the business of the month to celebrate this Anniversary. Our goal was to create a neighborhood pub and with the help of everyone in Delta Township, we have succeeded. We’re open Tuesday – Friday 3-10 pm, Saturday 12-10 pm, and Sunday 12-9 pm. Stop in and share a craft beverage and pizza with us" - Dan and Sonia Buonodono #choosedelta #businessofthemonth
