MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - In a recent blog post by Meridian Township Manager, Frank Walsh, a State of Emergency has been declared:

"The Meridian Township TEAM is very concerned for the residents of Meridian Township and the havoc that the ice storm has declared on many of the families. We expect residents to be without power for up to 5-6 more days depending on the weather forecast. We are declaring a State of Emergency as the high sustained winds forecasted for Wednesday, combined with the ice, will only lead to more power outages. Our Emergency Manager (Chief Cowper) is returning from his vacation to assist in the emergency response."
