St. James Township’s February 5, 1997 report covers zoning, airport repairs and an approved FAA grant application, Transfer Station safety and cleanup, and a Beaver Island Transportation Authority trip to view a new ferry under construction. The board also discussed dock changes for the ferry, a public playground fund, the rock crusher, Historical Society support, campground showers, and a Beaver Harbor plat lot combination.
