White River Twp. board appoints new ZBA members

The White River Township board appointed two new members to its Zoning Board of Appeals during its brief monthly meeting Tuesday evening.
Stephen Niezgoda was approved as the planning commission's representative on the ZBA, and former township clerk Patti Sargent was approved as an alternate.
During discussion surrounding road repairs in the township, supervisor Ron Bailey said he hopes to get a contract from the Muskegon County Road Commission to do work on Lau Road for 2027.
Trustee Deb Harris reported that the White Lake Solid Waste station has increased its prices for tire recycling in response to an increase in the cost of doing so.
The township board noted that Lakeside Solar has not yet submitted an updated application to the Michigan Public Services Commission. The company recently hosted another public informational meeting at Muskegon Community College in anticipation of submitting the application.
