Commission Comments: Sue Ensign said that the Lincoln Township board was looking into ideas and options on how best to use the additional land adjacent to the township hall.

The Planning Commission toured the property and suggested that a pavilion/picnic area would be nice, in that it could be rented for summertime parties and family outings. A pavilion would be relatively inexpensive to build and easy to maintain.
