Summary

The July 2002 Beaver Beacon summarized June meetings of both Beaver Island townships. St. James reported a Donegal Bay trail grant, airport improvement funding, recreation-plan adoption, and medical-center planning. Peaine discussed its first master plan, road work, medical-center management, and fireworks safety.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper summary, not the complete minutes, grant agreements, construction plans, or adopted master plan.

Open questions

  • Is the Donegal Bay trail grant St. James reported in June 2002 the same MDOT Transportation Enhancement grant referenced in the 2001 minutes, and was the trail completed?
  • What did Peaine Township’s first master plan, discussed in June 2002, say about trails?

If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
