Trenton begins construction on Central Fire Station
The City of Trenton marked a major step forward in public safety with the groundbreaking ceremony for its new Central Fire Station at the future site on Veteran's Parkway. City officials, fire department personnel, project partners, and community members gathered to celebrate the beginning of a project expected to serve the community for generations. This project comes after the new police station's grand opening earlier in April.
The new station will replace two aging facilities-one more than 100 years old and the other over 60 years old-that have long supported the department's operations. While those buildings played a vital role in the city's history, leaders emphasized the need for a modem, centralized facility to meet today's emergency service demands.
"This project represents a significant step forward for our city," said Fire Chief Keith Anderson. "It ensures that our firefighters have the tools, training space, and safe working environment they need to continue protecting our community at the highest level."
Mayor Steven Rzeppa echoed that sentiment, highlighting the long-term impact of the investment. "This new fire station is an investment in the safety, health, and future of Trenton," he said. "It reflects our commitment to providing exceptional emergency services to our community every day."
During the ceremony, Chief Anderson expanded on those remarks, calling the day "a proud and historic day for the City of Trenton and for the men and women of the fire department." He added, "We are here to break ground on more than just a building-we are here to lay the foundation for the
future of public safety in our community."
He also reflected on the department's history while looking ahead. "Those buildings have stories in every wall-stories of sacrifice, commitment, and service," Anderson said of the current stations. "But as much as we respect that history, we also recognize that the demands of modem emergency response have outgrown those facilities."
The new Central Fire Station will consolidate operations into one location, improving efficiency and coordination across the city. It will also include dedicated training areas and spaces designed to strengthen community engagement.
"This station is being designed with purpose," Anderson said. "It will include dedicated training space that allows our firefighters to continually
sharpen their skills right here at home-ensuring they are always prepared for whatever challenges they may face."
He also emphasized the importance of firefighter health and safety in the design. "Modem design will help reduce exposure to harmful contaminants, improve living conditions, and support the physical and mental well-being of our personnel," he said. "Taking care of our firefighters means they can better take care of this community."
The ceremony concluded with a ceremonial turning of the soil, symbolizing the official start of construction. As the project moves forward, city officials said the new station will enhance emergency response while continuing Trenton's long tradition of service and dedication.

Trenton project and construction update
The City of Trenton's 2026 construction season is now underway, with work beginning across multiple infrastructure and capital improvement projects following a challenging winter that resulted in more than 60 water main breaks. In response, concrete replacement, sidewalk repairs, road work, and asphalt resurfacing are scheduled throughout the community from spring through late fall. Project priorities continue to be guided by the citywide PASER pavement condition study.
Major public safety investments also continue to move forward. Construction of the new police and fire stations is progressing steadily, with ceremonial groundbreakings already held at both sites. Each facility remains on schedule for substantial completion by mid-2027, marking a significant modernization of emergency services infrastructure.
At the Veterans Memorial Library, exterior improvements are underway, including a redesigned front far;:ade expected to be completed soon. Interior updates have also been made, with new flooring installed to refresh and modernize the space for residents.
Nearby, at the comer of West Road and Westfield in front of the library, concrete repairs and paver restoration are in progress. This work is being completed in partnership with the local VFW post and will include the installation of memorial statues honoring those who gave their lives in service. The project is expected to be completed ahead of the annual Memorial Day parade and ceremony scheduled for May 23.
The city's solar initiative continues to advance on schedule, with substantial completion expected in October. Solar installations will be placed at the Westfield Center, the library, the wastewater treatment plant, and the Kennedy Recreation Center. The project is anticipated to deliver long-term savings through reduced municipal energy costs.
Renovations at the Westfield Center are approximately 90%
The project is expected to be completed ahead of the annual Memorial Day parade and ceremony scheduled for May 23.
complete, with final work expected to be finished by June 30. At the Department of Public Works facility, modernization efforts are also underway, including new roofing, structural improvements, and replacement of original 1950s-era windows this summer, along with additional interior upgrades. Substantial completion is expected by late 2026.
Work at Rotary Park continues to progress, with pilings and boardwalk construction expected in the coming weeks as the project moves closer to completion.
Several major regional transportation projects remain in various stages of planning. The West Road Bridge, owned by Wayne County, is still awaiting full funding approval. While partial funding has been secured, no construction start date has been confirmed. Once begun, the project is expected to take approximately two years, with existing lane closures remaining in place until work begins.
The Fort Street grade separation project, led by the Michigan Department of Transportation, also remains in the planning phase.
Construction is not expected to begin until 2029, with completion projected for 2031. Additionally, West Jefferson Avenue is scheduled for resurfacing in 2026 as part of Wayne County's roadway improvement program, with work to follow the county's construction timeline.
Together, these projects reflect a continued focus on infrastructure renewal, public safety investment, and long-term improvements across the city.

May is Stroke Awareness Month
Minutes
Matter: What Neurologists Want You to Know
Even symptoms that resolve quickly can signal a stroke - and delaying care can limit treatment options.
During National Stroke Awareness Month, neurologists at the Michigan Institute for Neurological Disorders (MIND) are encouraging the public to recognize that stroke symptoms are not always sudden or severe - and even mild or temporary symptoms should never be ignored.
Dr. Brandon Vieder specializes in the treatment and prevention of stroke and other vascular neurologic disorders.
A stroke occurs when a blood clot, plaque, or other particles block blood flow to the brain, or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. A stroke can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or death.
According to the American Heart Association's 2026 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics, stroke is now the #4 leading cause of death in the U.S. Nearly 800,000 people in the U.S. have a stroke each year, and it is also a leading cause of serious, long-term disability.
Stroke specialists at MIND say some patients delay care because symptoms seem minor, improve quickly, or don't match what they expect a stroke to look like. But when it comes to stroke, minutes matter.
Stroke Warning Signs: Don't Wait
• Sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body
• Trouble speaking or understanding speech
• Facial drooping or uneven smile
• Sudden dizziness, imbalance, or trouble walking
• Vision changes or sudden confusion
If something feels off, call 911 immediately.
"A stroke requires immediate emergency care-and ongoing neurological management after discharge," said Dr. Brandon Vieder,
a board-certified neurologist and fellowship-trained vascular (stroke) neurology specialist.
"It's important to
MIND neurologists emphasize that patients experiencing possible stroke symptoms should call 911 rather than drive themselves to the emergency room. Early evaluation and treatment can directly affect recovery outcomes and available treatment options.
Stroke Care Doesn't End at the Hospital
While stroke treatment begins in the emergency setting, neurologists play an ongoing role in:
• Identifying stroke type and underlying cause recognize that something is wrong and act immediately. Even mild or improving symptoms can signal a serious event that requires urgent evaluation."
• Managing medications and reducing future risk
• Coordinating rehabilitation and recovery
• Guiding patients through the critical first month of recovery
Advances in rehabilitationincluding technology-assisted therapies and more personalized recovery approaches-are expanding what's possible for patients after a stroke.
"Most stroke recovery happens in the first 6 to 12 months, which is why early recoguition and immediate action are so important," said Dr. Joshua Nass, board-certified neurologist and stroke specialist at MIND.
Recovery and ongoing neurological Dr. Joshua Nass specializes in stroke evaluation, treatment, recovery,
care continue long after a patient leaves the hospital. Neurologists help patients manage stroke risk factors, monitor recovery, coordinate rehabilitation, and reduce the risk of future strokes.
During Stroke Awareness Month, MIND neurologists encourage patients and families to learn the warning signs of stroke and seek emergency care immediately if symptoms appear.

Lady Trojans take the field in historic girls flag football season
The inaugural season of flag football for the Lady Trojans is officially underway, and despite early growing pains, the team has already shown flashes of promise, detennination, and steady improvement on the field.
Girls flag football continues to grow across Downriver, with more c01mnunities launching programs and embracing the rapidly expanding sport. Schools including Southgate Titans and Wyandotte Roosevelt Bears have also started programs, highlighting the increasing popularity of girls flag football throughout the region.
The Trojans opened their historic first season against Flat Rock Rams in a competitive matchup that ended in a 27-20 loss. While the final score did not fall in Trenton's favor, the team's offense made an immediate statement. Freshman quarterback Kelsey Clements turned in an impressive perfonnance, throwing for three touchdowns in the season opener. One touchdown pass connected with Lauren Holder, while Grace Wend hauled in two touchdown receptions to help keep the Trojans within striking
distance throughout the game. Trenton returned to action in its second contest against Carlson Marauders. The Trojans faced a tough Carlson squad and battled throughout the game, ultimately falling 450. Despite the setback, the team continued to gain valuable experience during its first year competing in the sport.
The hard work paid off on Mother's Day, when the Trojans earned their first victory in program history: a 28- 7 win over Monroe. The milestone marked a major moment for the new program and showcased the growth the team has already made just a few games into its inaugural season.
As the season continues, Trenton is focused on building chemistry, developing young talent, and laying the foundation for the future of the program.
With strong effort and several standout performances already emerging, the Trojans are helping fuel the excitement surrounding girls flag football across the Downriver community.
Trojan rowers add more hardware to successful season
The Trenton Trojan Rowing program continued its impressive 2026 campaign with more successful endeavors on the water, highlighted by standout perfonnances at the Hebda Cup and Martindale Sprints.
At the Hebda Cup, the Trojan Crew captured the prestigious Women's Point Trophy with a first-place finish, showcasing the strength and depth of the women's program throughout the regatta. The team also earned second place in the Combined Points Trophy standings, further demonstrating the continued growth and competitiveness of the entire program.
Coaches and rowers credited the team's demanding training schedule
and countless meters on the water for the recent success. With much of the season still remaining, the Trojans
expressed confidence that the boats would continue getting faster as the year progresses.
Trenton Crew also recently competed at the Martindale Sprints and once again returned home with hardware despite battling chilly conditions. The Men's Novice 4+ crew delivered a strong performance to earn a second-place finish and bring home a silver medal.
Team members and supporters remain proud of every boat that raced throughout the event, praising the detennination and effort shown by all competitors in difficult weather conditions. With momentum continuing to build, Trenton Trojan Rowing appear poised for an exciting remainder of the 2026 season.
Trenton baseball stays hot as softball regains momentum
The spring sports season has brought plenty of success for the Trenton ball teams, as both the baseball and softball programs continue to put together competitive seasons heading into the heart of May.
At the time of press for the Trenton Times, the Trojans baseball team sits at an impressive 15-10 record and has picked up several notable victories throughout the season. Among the team's standout perfonnances was a commanding 10-3 win over Lincoln Park, along with a dominant 9-0 shutout victory against Wyandotte Roosevelt.
The Trojans also secured an 8-4 victory over Dearborn Edsel Ford and earned one of their most exciting wins of the season in an 11-10 thriller against Ann Arbor Huron. Through a balanced mix of offense and strong pitching
perfonnances, the Trojans have remained competitive throughout a demanding schedule.
Meanwhile, the Lady Trojans Softball team has continued battling through a challenging season. At press time, the Lady Trojans hold a 7-10 overall record.
The team opened a stretch of strong play with 4 wins. They saw an impressive 11-2 victory over Southgate Anderson before running into a difficult stretch late in April that saw the Trojans drop five consecutive games. Despite the slump, the team has shown resilience and appears to be regaining momentum heading into May.
Trenton responded with some dominant victories, defeating Lincoln Park 19-1, Dearborn Edsel Ford 13-1, and Belleville 9-3 as the offense began to find its rhythm once again.

Monthly recap with Rep Linting
I recently gained support for several investments for our Downriver communities that I wanted to highlight in our advancing House budget plan!
The Riverview Fire Department is critical to public safety in our area. The department's existing fire engine was placed into service nearly 20 years ago and has experienced steadily increasing maintenance costs and reliability concerns due to age and wear. Just in the
RYLEE
LINT/NG past two years, repair costs for the engine State Representative have surpassed $55,000. I fought for a budget request of just over $1 million to assist in the purchase of a new frontline engine and upgraded equipment for the department. The replacement engine would be equipped with modern technology, improved safety systems and advanced pump and water delivery capabilities. The funding will also cover essential equipment like hoses, nozzles, rescue tools and scene safety.
Likewise, Wyandotte's existing ladder truck is nearly 25 years old - more than five years past the recommended lifespan. A $1.9 million investment in the House's budget plan would go to the Wyandotte Fire Department for a modem and reliable aerial ladder truck. On top of the existing truck being aged out, the city is experiencing growth within its downtown landscape. Wyandotte currently manages 14 high-rise and mid-rise buildings, in addition to having the Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital, a major chemical plant and four major rail lines that handle hazardous materials and critical logistics. These unique features require modern technology when responding to emergencies.
I was also pleased to see funding for updated police radio equipment and a $6.5 million investment for water main restoration for the city of Southgate be included in the House's budget plan. Improving the reliability and longevity of the city's drinking water system is critical. This is an investment in essential public infrastructure that impacts public health, safety, quality
of life, travel, and viability for local businesses.
I want to thank the many local officials and first responders who I have spoken with for their cooperation and insight as we put these funding requests forward. As the budget proceeds over the next several weeks, I will continue to support the needs of our communities and our hardworking first responders by fighting for this local funding to ensure it reaches the governor's desk for her signature.
While working on your behalf in Lansing, I have also been out and about Downriver. I attended an event at Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital to celebrate the signing of my bill which keeps Michigan in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact.
By staying in this vital partnership, we are working to improve access to care and supporting doctors in our state and southeast Michigan as they grow their careers working across state lines. I was honored to be joined by Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital President Rand O'Leary, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ahmad Maarouf and Dr. Emily Hurst, who is a critical care physician at Henry Ford and immediate past president of the Michigan Osteopathic Association. They spoke on what the signing of this bill meant for more than 8,000 physicians in the state and how it's important for patients to continue to be able to see doctors they trust without interruption.
I also spoke to students at Trenton High School about a new law that will restrict smartphones during instruction time. These new policies will begin in the upcoming school year and were the culmination of months-long efforts to keep students focused and educators from having to compete with screens. It was great to meet and engage with students while explaining what's being done and why. I also recently read to students at Christ The King Lutheran School in Southgate. Thank you to both schools for having me by!
I am putting the needs and priorities of workers and families across Downriver first. I look forward to providing you with another update soon!
Spring Home Projects: Plan Smarter in 2026
It's springtime in Michigan. The weather finally warms up after a long winter, and suddenly the to-do list starts growing-new floors, a kitchen update, maybe finally tackling that bathroom project you've been putting off
Sound familiar?
Across the Downriver area, more homeowners are jumping into home improvement projects this time of year. And they're not alone-according to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, Americans spend over $4 70 billion each year on home improvements.
But in 2026, many homeowners are taking a closer look at how they pay for these projects-especially as costs and interest rates continue to rise.
Paying for Projects-Without the Stress
In the past, many homeowners relied on credit cards or short-term loans to cover renovation costs. While that might seem convenient, it can quickly become expensive-especially with today's higher interest rates.
That's why more people are exploring options that offer flexibility without adding unnecessary financial pressure.
So whats the smartest way to pay for a project like this without adding unnecessary stress?
A Smarter Way to Use What You Already Have
If you've owned your home for any
length of time, you may already have a resource available: your home's equity.
Home equity loans allow homeowners to borrow against the value they've built over time-often with more predictable payments and lower rates compared to other financing options.
It's one way many homeowners are turning "possibility" into "progress"
without stretching their monthly budget too thin.
The Bottom Line
Spring is a great time to invest in your home-but how you pay for those projects matters just as much as what you choose to do.
Before you get started, take a few minutes to:
- Get a rough estimate of your project costs
- Check what your current payments could realistically handle
- Look into options that won't add unnecessary high-interest debt
For many homeowners, that starts with taking a closer look at the equity they've already built. A quick conversation with a home loan specialist at Downriver Community Federal Credit Union can help you see what's possible, compare your options, and choose a plan that fits your budgetso you can move forward with confidence, avoid unnecessary financial stress, and focus on the upgrades that matter most.

RCHS students explore Europe on 11-day educational trip
Nineteen Riverview Community High School students spent Spring Break traveling across Europe on an 11-day educational tour through the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and England. The journey began with an overnight flight to Amsterdam, where students prepared for an immersive experience across multiple countries.
Throughout the trip, students traveled by bus, streetcar, train, metro, boat, and plane while visiting some of Europe's most iconic landmarks, including the Rijksmuseum, Grand Place, Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, the Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre.
In Amsterdam, students explored the city's canal district on a walking tour, including stops at the Begijnhof and the floating flower market. On day two, they experienced world-renowned art at the Rijksmuseum, viewing masterpieces such as Rembrandt's The Night Watch, before visiting the Anne Frank House. The group then traveled to Bruges, where students explored historic squares and enjoyed local waffles and chocolate in the city often called the "Venice of the North" for its canals. The next stop was Brussels, widely recognized as a center of the European Union, where students dined
in the Grand Place and visited the Atornium, built for the 1958 World's Fair.
