Inverness Voters Are Nailing Shut The Cheboygan Coffin

Almost two full years after Meijer received Cheboygan County site plan approval, by a 3-2 vote, the Inverness Township Board voted in February 2017 to approve moving forward with negotiations of a 425 agreement between the township and the City of Cheboygan for the Meijer property.

Crisman Jones, Properties and Real Estate Manager for Meijer, stated in an email it is Meijer’s preference to go with the 425 agreement.

Inverness Township Supervisor Ron Neuman, “With that being said, I would entertain a motion to go ahead and start negotiations with the city on a 425 agreement and move forward with this project.”

Another year has passed and the Meijer project has moved farther away. 

Five dysfunctional people, the Inverness Township Board, have by their actions created a defacto moratorium on a big box developer. The Inverness Five have prevented an investment of millions of dollars in Cheboygan County and the several hundred new jobs that a Meijer store would create.

Do the electors of Inverness Township have the courage to exercise their rights by recalling the entire township board, each equally guilty, and vote into office new officers who will act expediently to reach an agreement with the City of Cheboygan? 

The decision is yours. The failure of this big box store development will negatively impact the future of Cheboygan County far into the future. It is another nail in the coffin.
