LOCAL LEADERS SHARE 2024 GOALS BY MARY GENSON AND MARY BETH ALMOND mgenson@candgnews.com, malmond@candgnews.com

The Eagle spoke with a leader from each municipality in the coverage area about their goals for the community in 2024.

Bingham Farms

Another goal of Bingham Farms is to come up with a plan for road reconstruction. “Most of our village-owned public roads are at the end of their lives, and we are trying to come up with a cost effective economical plan for the reconstruction of those roads,” Marten said. Marten said they have already taken steps towards this goal by receiving estimates from engineers and are at the early stages of forming a committee to study the financing issues related to road reconstruction or rehabilitation.
