WRIGHT TOWNSHIP GETS IT RIGHT

  The Wright Township Board of Trustees has successfully secured funding through the USDA/Rural Development/Rural Utilities Service and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality necessary for constructing a new sanitary sewer system to serve the unincorporated hamlet of Prattville and the nearby area around Lime Lake.
