This space in the Village Lakes plaza between the new and is the last open space available in the plaza.
What would you like to see in this space? A skate shop? A clothing boutique? A bookstore?

All of those sound great but a bookstore would be first on my list. Tutoring center would be great too!

A tutoring center is a great idea. I'd like to see some sort of sports shop that carries various things including roller derby gear. It can be tiring to always order it online and wait for it to be delivered, especially when you really need it. There really isn't a place around here that sells that type of stuff.

Bookstore for sure! We've lost even the used bookstores. Closest are Novi & Brighton. How about it combined with an Art Gallery-type display for all of Huron Valley Schools art teachers to fill with kids' art works? There is a lot of talent in this area.

It would be helpful to know, if it actually was seismic testing. Following the last episode (by…Read More West Bay) it was noted, at the Highland Twp Board meeting by the Sheriff's office, that residents would receive notification prior to any such future events. If so, who received notice and how was this communicated? An announcement in the "Patch" would have been useful....
The Tues. June 25th TOWN HALL 6 - 8pm, by the WRC (Water Resources Commissioner) Jim Nash, will provide an abundance of information on issues re oil/gas drilling and fracking, which EVERYONE needs to know due to impacts on both surface and ground (well) water. Particularly, those who have been approached with an oil/gas lease (ie; near Clyde Rd & Hickory Ridge, re exploration for drilling on the 'soccer field'). People need to know what they are getting into. If it comes to drilling/fracking, seismic testing will be seen as trivial.

After the last round of explosions I contacted Patrick Gibson at West Bay Exploration Company and…Read More was told that yes, they have been conducting tests in the area over the last 18 months and "The impact of these charges is barely audible at the surface and would not sound like an explosion on neighboring property. Landowners affected by the survey are contacted through the mail so that they are aware of our timing. I am not sure what your mysterious explosions were, but I am pretty sure they were not the result of our surveys."
In the press release provided by Laura Vogel today Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash says Thousands of acres of land in Oakland has been leased to Jordan Exploration.
I am again confused. Do both companies have leases in Oakland County? Is it legal for them to detonate dynamite at all hours?

So, Patrick Gibson can check West Bay records then KNOW if their testing occurred on Sat. 6/15/13…Read More 9pm, instead of being 'pretty sure'. Guess I'll have to call Pat ....
Getting answers to your questions re the companies involved, Gerry, can be mysterious too --- but, likely just a technicality as this industry includes 3 types, to: explore; drill; and extract (and/or frack). So, nailing anyone down to answer questions or get a commitment is elusive at best.
Change the way the State of Michigan is obligated by legislation to foster the oil and gas industry, to instead protect public health. Support the ballot initiative: LetsBanFracking.org

Has this little one found her home yet? Facebook has a "For the love of Louie, MI lost and…Read More found dogs". I highly recommend posting there, they do a great job networking.
