At the March 15 Delta Township Board meeting, a public hearing was held to receive comments related to the establishment of a Corridor Improvement Authority for the Saginaw Highway corridor.

The Township Board expressed its intent to establish a Corridor Improvement Authority (CIA) and designate its development area boundaries, as required by the Recodified Tax Increment Financing Act, PA 57 of 2018, on February 15, 2021. The generalized boundaries of the proposed development area include all properties fronting on West Saginaw Highway from Broadbent Road to North Waverly Road. A map of the proposed development area is provided on the Delta Township website at www.deltami.gov/CIA and is available for review in the Township Clerk’s Office, 7710 West Saginaw Highway, Lansing, MI 48917.

A final decision will be made after a period of no-less-than 60 days has passed after the public hearing. Please check back on our website for meeting date information at www.deltami.gov/CIA. or call 517-323-8590.

Time is running out to enroll in health coverage during the COVID-19 special enrollment period, which runs from Feb. 15 through May 15.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many Michiganders to lose their jobs and their health insurance, and Delta Township is encouraging all Michiganders to evaluate their health insurance before the May 15 enrollment deadline. This special enrollment period is a rare opportunity to sign up outside of the normal open enrollment period, making it a very important time for all Michiganders who need coverage for 2021.

If you’re worried that you won’t be able to afford the health coverage you need or that it’s too difficult to enroll, resources are available at Michigan.gov/HealthInsurance. There are a variety of low- or no-cost coverage options available, depending on your income and other factors and there is free, local enrollment help available.

The American Rescue Plan, recently signed into law by President Joe Biden, increases and expands Marketplace subsidies to help you afford health coverage. In some cases, these subsidies could provide cost-free coverage for the whole year. Time is ticking and the sooner you sign up, the more you can save on the health coverage you need for yourself and your family.

Health care coverage is an important part of our state’s health, so it’s important to get covered before the deadline on May 15. Learn more at

Michigan.gov/HealthInsurance or by calling 877-999-6442.

If you are working on your 2020 income taxes and need to know the amount you paid in property taxes – this information is available 24/7 on the Township website www.deltami.gov. Click on Property Information on the home page and search the tax database using your name, address or parcel number. The site includes the ability to print a copy of the tax information showing the payment date and receipt number.

Michiganders who need help with their winter energy bills can now apply for the Home Heating Credit, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury (Treasury).

Low-income, deaf, disabled, or blind persons, disabled veterans, and senior citizens may qualify for the Home Heating Credit. Applicants are not required to file a Michigan individual income tax return to receive the credit.

“If you’re eligible for the Home Heating Credit, I strongly encourage you to apply,” State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks said. “This credit can help keep you warm during our cold seasons, allowing you to spend your money on other important things. Please don’t hesitate to seek out assistance if you think you’re eligible.”

Individuals can apply for the Home Heating Credit electronically through the e-File system.

Forms and instructional materials are available on the internet at Michigan.gov/IncomeTax or by calling 517-636-4486. Forms are also available at many libraries, Northern Michigan post offices, and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) offices across the state.

During 2020, the state Treasury Department processed more than 270,400 Home Heating Credit claims, totaling more than $58.3 million. The average credit was $216.
