Technology Committee

The purpose of this work group is to review technology available externally in the township and to develop a strategy to meet the Canton Township Board of Trustees goals and objectives as a smart sustainable township. This will also coincide with the Michigan Avenue Mobility Corridor and the Ford Road boulevard.

This group will meet at a minimum of monthly until the strategy is developed. It will then be determined as to the frequency of subsequent meetings.
