Food for Thought - Last Call for Help

Just a reminder to voice your support for Food For Thought, which is facing a zoning hearing June 4 at 7 p.m. at the Platte Township hall to determine whether the company can continue doing business at its current location. The company was recently informed it needs a special land use permit to do so.

Company founder Timothy Young reports that the zoning administrator plans to recommend approval of the application, noting that the company meet the zoning requirements. But the administrator also stressed the importance of public input. Your presence at the meeting and your letters matter, and currently letters are at about 50/50 for and against. Letters are due this week.

For more details, including where to send your letter of support, please see Food for Thought needs your help. As noted in that post, if you can't attend the meeting or write a letter, please post a comment in support of Food for Thought. I'll print them off at the end of the day on Wednesday May 28 and mail them to the zoning administrator.

UPDATE: The deadline for comments has been extended through Tuesday. You can email the Zoning Administrator, Craig Seger and his assistant, Chris Flynn directly at CSeger@benzieco.net and CFlynn@benzieco.net or mail letters to Craig Seger, Zoning Administrator, Benzie Zoning Department, 448 Court Place, Beulah, MI 49617.
