200 - 250 or More Show up to Oppose a New Landfill - Thank you!

WOW, what a turnout. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

There were 200 – 250 or more who showed up to show they opposed a proposed new landfill in Salem Township. There would have been more, but parking at Northville Township Offices was limited. We apologize to those who missed the event due to the limited parking. The Conservancy Initiative and the leadership of Northville greatly appreciate all who attended on Monday night.

A copy of the presentation slides is available.
