DELTA TOWNSHIP, Mich. — UPDATE: Delta Township officials have canceled this year’s fireworks show amid financial troubles.
Delta Township officials are discussing the possible cancellation of the annual July 3rd fireworks display as the township faces significant financial challenges from a $12 million bank drain assessment and uncertain police staffing.
Township Manager Brian Reed is recommending cancellation of the $34,650 fireworks display and paying a 40% buyout of the contract, according to township documents.
The financial strain comes after voters rejected a public safety millage that would have provided funding for police services.
A further update will be provided after the 6 p.m. meeting.
