The hottest topic in Scio Township is the fate of the proposed fire department merger.

After two years of talks, Scio and Webster townships and Dexter Village and Township have a plan to merge the Scio Township Fire Department with the Dexter Area Fire Department. Though the plan calls for a slight cost increase for Scio, the township's board approved it for the improved services and long-term savings.

Government, business, environment, the U-M, and more.
