Northern Five |
| |
Ray Township is one of the founding members of the Northern 5. The
Northern 5 Committee, which consists of Armada, Bruce, Lenox, Ray and
Richmond Townships, is strongly in support of the preservation of farmland
and open space within their jurisdictions as well as in the County as a
whole. Macomb County and particularly the Northern 5 Townships are
experiencing significant population increases as well as significant loss
of farmland, and exploring smart growth options is top priority for all of
the communities involved in the Northern 5.
