Four Lakes Task Force provided the Midland and Gladwin County Commissioners with a comprehensive progress update for the most recent commissioner meetings. It reiterated updates provided in the November Update on Progress and provided follow-up information.

After an abbreviated review of the above progress report to Gladwin County, an additional meeting was requested. We encourage any citizen of Gladwin or Midland county to attend this follow up meeting on December 4.

A big thanks goes to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) for the grant to make debris removal possible, and to Fisher Contracting, Sanford Village President Dolores Porte, volunteer Bill Gebo, local law enforcement, and the many other volunteers whose work cleaned the dam and reunited property owners with lost items.

We are also thankful for the safety gear donations that Home Depot, Douglass, Three Rivers and Spicer provided for the volunteers.
