Peninsula Community Library continues to move closer to its goal of building a new library on the Old Mission Peninsula. As director Vicki Shurly mentioned here, the fundraising campaign now stands at nearly $1.8 million in gifts, pledges and expected donations. Learn more about the new library and how to make a donation here.
The Peninsula Township Planning Commission has now scheduled a public hearing for Jan. 22, 2018 at 7 p.m. at the Peninsula Township Hall, 13235 Center Road.

At the meeting, the commission will hear public comments about the proposed new library and consider a special use permit which would allow construction of the library at the northwest corner of Island View Road and Center Road.
The property is located within the A-1 (Agricultural) Zoning District, and a public library may be permitted in the A-1 Zoning District subject to special use permit approval.
A copy of the proposed Special Use Permit Application may be viewed at the Township Planning office between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
All interested persons are invited to attend this public hearing. If you are unable to attend, written comments may be submitted to the Peninsula Township Clerk, 13235 Center Road, Traverse City, Michigan 49686, no later than 12 p.m. on Jan. 22, 2018.

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
