Meridian Township A Prime Community Centrally located, Meridian Township has nestled within its borders two healthy and active communities; Haslett and Okemos.

A smaller portion of East Lansing and Williamston are also within our border. Lying along the eastern border of East Lansing, we are in close proximity to the Michigan State Capitol and Michigan State University. Meridian Township welcomes visitors from surrounding areas to its vibrant business districts, over 906 acres of parks and natural areas and to the largest lake within 25 miles of the State Capitol, Lake Lansing. We are a welcoming community that celebrates quality education, recreation and lifestyles. Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming, sustainable, prime community.

October 26 Planning Commission Meeting Update 🎥

The October 26 Planning Commission meeting has been relocated to the Central Fire Station (5000 Okemos Road, Okemos) due to early voting taking place in the Town Hall Room.

Because the fire station does not have the necessary broadcasting equipment, HOMTV will not televise the meeting. We will provide an audio-only recording the following day.

The plan will also include facility siting strategies, a county profile, and mechanisms to enforce and fund the MMP.

Comments can be sent to [email protected], or they can be given at the public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, October 27.

On October 17, the Meridian Conservation Corps (MCC) partnered with Jared Harmon from the Mid-Michigan Land Conservancy to bring goats to Towar Woods Preserve! 🐐🌿

By grazing on invasive plants, the goats help reduce dense vegetation and support greater biodiversity in natural areas. This was a demonstration only and is not currently being implemented in Meridian Township preserves.

For questions about invasive species management, contact Land Stewardship Coordinator Emma Campbell at [email protected] or 517.853.4614.

⚠️ Hulett Road Lane Closure (10/19-10/20) ⚠️

Weather-dependent, the Township's contractor will pave the second and final layer of asphalt on Hulett Road on Monday, October 19, and Tuesday, October 20.

The road will be paved half-width at a time. On the paving dates, Hulett Road will be closed to northbound traffic. Southbound traffic will be maintained on the side of the road that is not currently being paved.

School bus routes will not have to be altered. Motorists should expect delays when traveling southbound on Hulett Road on October 19-20.

The Township continues to coordinate with CSX Railroad regarding paving within the railroad right-of-way (ROW). At this time, work within the railroad ROW is pending CSX scheduling staff to monitor the railroad crossing during paving operations, in accordance with state and federal laws. Therefore, paving operations on 10/19 and 10/20 will conclude approximately 100 feet short on both sides of the railroad crossing.

The Township will complete the remaining paving work adjacent to the CSX railroad crossing as soon as the necessary railroad coordination and safety requirements are in place. We appreciate residents' patience and understanding as we work to finalize this portion of the project.
