Concerns pressed at Leland Twp. meeting

Tensions came to a head at a Leland Township meeting on Monday evening as members of the public continued to voice their concerns regarding ongoing township matters and governance.

Dozens of people filled into the Munnecke room for the township’s regular monthly meeting, many of which were present to speak on township projects and pressing issues such as Hancock Field plans in the works and the continuing Youth for Christ (YFC) special land use permit application dispute.

During the first period of public comment, at least half a dozen community members spoke about their concerns for Hancock and its significance for much of the youth in Leland and the county as a whole.
