CONGRATULATIONS LEELANAU TOWNSHIP! 

The Planning Commission & Steve Patmore received a special award from the  Northern Michigan Environmental Action Council (NMEAC) Friday evening.  The John Nelson Water Stewardship Award was in recognition of the Ordinance amendment to protect our wetlands and shoreline.  This award is shared with all who participated in the Ordinance development (including expert consultants and public contributors), the Township Board (who unanimously approved the Ordinance), those who educated others on the importance of wetland protection, and the residents of Leelanau Township who demonstrated their Stewardship by voting to approve the Ordinance.
