Canton trustees award $663,214 Higley Construction contract for Summit on the Park parking lot
Summary
The board approved a $663,214 contract with Higley Construction for a parking-lot project at Summit on the Park. Officials said the work is part of a multi-phase $2.5 million legislative grant to expand and modernize the recreation facility and must move forward to meet state spending deadlines.
The Canton Township Board approved issuing a contract and increasing the purchase order to Higley Construction in the amount of $663,214 for phase 3 parking‑lot construction at Summit on the Park.
Staff told the board the work is part of a 2025 legislative earmark of $2,500,000 intended to improve and modernize community recreation spaces, including accessibility upgrades and repurposing space for expanded classes and activities. Director Norwood said the project is part of multiple phases and noted the township is on a tight state timeline to expend grant funds.
Trustees asked clarifying questions about location and outreach; staff agreed to provide construction photos to keep the public informed as the project progresses. The board approved the contract by voice vote.
Next steps: the township will coordinate construction scheduling and ensure expenditures comply with the state grant conditions before disbursing further funds.
