Tree Scales / Disease
June 22, 2010
Canton has been made aware that several homeowners have trees that have a scale type parasite on them. We have investigated the problem and according to experts at Michigan State University Calico Scale, Cottony Maple Scale, and Lecanium Scale are infesting Honey Locust and other trees. Aphids are also feeding off the honeydew produced by the scales. Trees that are repeatedly attacked by these pests are sometimes weakened leaving them susceptible to other diseases and pests.
Please find attached information that will help explain the disease. It is recommended, if you have trees that are infected, you contact a tree service for assistance.

Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP)
4/09 -Canton Township is in the process of receiving $2,182,988 in grant money to participate in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP).
The funds will be used to:

Offer down payment and closing cost assistance to low/moderate income buyers of homes acquired under the program.

Greatest percentage of home foreclosures
Highest percentage of homes financed by subprime mortgage loan
Identified as likely to face a significant rise in the rate of home foreclosures
The projected start date for the NSP is April 1, 2009. The funds must be obligated for a specific project within 18 months of receipt of the award agreement from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and all funds must be spent within four years of agreement receipt.
Canton must ensure that homebuyers undergo at least eight hours of homebuyer counseling and do not use a subprime mortgage in the purchase. The NSP is authorized by the Title III of Division B of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, 2009 (HERA).

Laird Farm Property
5/07 - Looks like the cows days are numbered! In the works is a plan to redevelop the entire corner property to a commercial center. Starting with plans on the board right now for a 2 story medical complex and a restaurant off ford road between our subdivision and the existing commercial property at the corner of Lilley and Ford. This will directly impact the homeowners that live in the front 8 parcels. The board would like opinions from those homeowners. Comments from all homeowners ,association wide, are also welcome.
Ford Road Subdivision Entrance
5/07 - You may have noticed the $300,000 improvement to our subdivision entrance off of Ford Road...you didn't?? Before the rumor mill gets started, this WAS NOT paid for by us. The Canton DDA funded the entire project. If you're not familiar with them here's a link to the Canton DDA's website.
The finished product looks nice, doesn't it? One last item to address with that project is we'd like to tie into the sprinkler system that's in place and add a couple more heads to water the "Island of Floral Death". As you've noticed not much grows on that island other than weeds. Provided water we could plant and maintain fauna that would vastly improve the appearance.
Lilley Road Work
5/07 - Although not on Wayne County's Construction list as even pending, Lilley Road is planned to undergo major road improvements this summer. It will be widened to 5 lanes between Ford Road and Willow Creek Road. In Addition, the portion between Willow Creek and Warren will be resurfaced.
Snow Removal
5/07 - The board fielded numerous complaints with regards to snow removal this winter. The contractor has been warned that if his performance doesn't vastly improve we will not renew our 2 year contract (2006 & 2007) with them. If you have any problems with snow removal please let the board know.
