Leland Twp. OKs return of Sunset Shores prepayments

Leland Township unanimously approved and authorized the return of pre-payments totaling $40,000 for the Sunset Shores community drain field project at its regular meeting Monday evening.

The initial action was to return pre-payment to Sunset Shores residents Preston and Colleen Moose, but after amending the motion, the board agreed to authorize the return of all pre-payments for other property owners who may request and want to do the same.

Leland Township Supervisor Clint Mitchell said the Mooses’ are one of six property owners that pre-paid for the project. With the township facing a pending lawsuit over the community drain field, Mitchell said the project is taking a bit longer than they had hoped.
