“It’s kind of a collaboration between the road commission, the county and the townships,” said Commissioner Deborah Pellow of Ishpeming. “It’s kind of a joint effort to move forward the Woodland Road.”

I heard from a reliable source Kcott and Orvana have been making the rounds to Economic Developement meetings. Coincidentally there was a meeting in Marquette on Tuesday and that evening the Marquette County Board supports the Woodland Road
That WoodlandRoadinfo link really opened my eyes. Hey, I thought this road had widespread support! Wake up, County Board. Even the raccoons are protesting.
Deb P. forgot to mention that “it’s kind of a collaboration” with Kennecott.
