ROSCOMMON- The Higgins Lake Foundation recently announced a $50,000 contribution to the Gerrish-Lyon Utility Authority (GLUA) in ongoing support for the Higgins Lake Sewer Project. Previously, the HLF has contributed over $100,000 to various support groups, including Gerrish and Lyon Townships, to make the Higgins Lake Sewer a much-needed reality.
At a presentation with members of the GLUA board, Vicki Springstead, chair of the Higgins Lake Foundation, said, “Today I am happy to announce the HLF is contributing an additional $50,000 to GLUA to support the environmental studies needed at the proposed site of the water treatment facility. This environmental testing work, when completed, can then be followed by the permitting process.”
“The HLF stands with all sewer project supporters, and with our hardworking Lyon and Gerrish Township officials who are striving to improve the long-term health and viability of Higgins Lake and our community.”
“We are especially grateful for the many support groups working to bring the sewer project to fruition in addition to our townships, such as our state legislators, Representative Ken Borton and Senator Michele Hoitenga, the Sewer Support volunteers and, of course, the many donors to the HLF.”
