Public Safety Facility Construction Project Kicks Off

Contract for Public Safety Facility Comes in

$1.5 Million Under Budget

Construction for the New Sheriff Substation has officially begun, and the new facility will take approximately 18 months to complete. The Eaton County Sheriff’s Office -Delta Patrol has been relocated to a new temporary facility off North Canal Rd.  

In November, the Delta Township Board approved the construction award in an amount not to exceed $14.5 million. The previous May, voters approved a bond proposal up to $16 million to fund the project with an estimated 1.1218 millage rate for taxpayers. Happily, the Township was able to keep the project under budget resulting in a reduced millage rate of 0.9591; a $1.5 million savings for taxpayers.

The Delta Patrol’s temporary location is closed to walk-in traffic for the duration of this project. For non-emergency services, please call 517-372-8217 and a deputy will come to you or will make arrangements to meet at the Delta Township Administration Building. For gun permit applications, please drop paperwork off in the blue drop box located on the north side of the Delta Township Administration Building at 7710 W. Saginaw Highway. For all other in-person transactions with the Sheriff’s Office, please visit the Charlotte Office at 1025 Independence Boulevard, Charlotte, MI, 48813.

Snow Removal Reminder

Sidewalks

With Snow just around the corner, Delta Township property owners are reminded that they need to make arrangements to clear the snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property.  Section 34-92  of the Delta Township Code of Ordinances requires that snow and ice be removed from the sidewalk within 24 hours of a snowfall. The code applies even if the property is vacant or the building on the premises is unoccupied.
