MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - The 2013 Annual Report for Meridian Township was released March 14th and contains specific information from each department in the Township.

Items in the report range from the number of times 911 is called to the recycling efforts in the Township, but one thing that shows in the Treasurers' report is where Meridian stands financially.

"We're putting the recession behind us and we are moving forward. We're really having a much better economic picture than we've had over the last four years, so that's really great news," said Meridian Township Treasurer Julie Brixie.

The treasury portion of the annual report looks at property values, tax collections, and building permits to determine the financial information.

The report helps the Township with the different strategies that could be implemented to better the future of the Township.
