The House Local Government committee took testimony this week on HB 4024<\/a> (Rep. Heise, R \u2013 Plymouth).\u00a0 This would lock borders of charter townships of 20,000 or less by not allowing annexations.\u00a0 This piece of legislation has been introduced for the past few sessions.\u00a0 It stems from an annexation issue between Northville Twp and the city of Livonia (although the city of Livonia didn\u2019t play an active role in the annexation).\u00a0 The annexation was ultimately turned down by the voters but the goal of the sponsor is to prevent this type of \u201chostile annexation\u201d to happen again between a more urbanized township and a city.\u00a0 We testified in opposition to this as did the Michigan Association of Realtors.\u00a0 The Michigan Association of Home Builders is opposed as well.\u00a0 There will be workgroups on this starting next week and continuing through the summer months.<\/p>\n
