Here’s What’s In Store

The major projects planned include construction of a pedestrian bridge over Interstate 275, revamp of the awesome Summit venue, and a brand-new facility addition to the Sheldon School. Hats off to our local representatives who brought the funding home.

According to local officials, building the pedestrian bridge on Palmer Road over the Interstate will immensely improve safety and accessibility for our folks who are often found crossing that busy road. They’re confident that this project will bring a wave of relief to hundreds of Cantonites every week.

In other news, a massive renovation work is planned at the Summit. What’s so cool about this? Well, the $2.5 million revamp is going to tremendously expand the activity and programming space for our dear seniors. With this revamp, the Club 55+ at the Summit will no longer be confined to its current 1,500 square feet but will instead sprawl over approximately 10,600 square feet! So, if you’re a part of Club 55+, get ready for a whole new world of activities and amenities at the Summit.

New Facility at Sheldon School – Here’s the Scoop!

Here comes a touch of compassion with the funding. A whooping sum of $1 million will be used to spin a part of the Sheldon School into a facility that houses Kids-TALK, a welfare program for children. This will be a safe space for the kids and will focus on their mental and emotional health, safety, and overall stability. It’s a no-brainer that this news is a heartwarmer for the entire community.

But Wait, There’s More…

With this funding roll-out, there will be a renewed focus on the safety and welfare of our seniors, and children. And let’s not forget the pedestrian bridge project, which is all about making our roads more user-friendly for everyone. In short, the $7 million state grant will undeniably revitalize our beloved Canton Township, making it an even better place to live, work, and play! Stay tuned for more updates!
