August Mayor’s Corner

July 24, 2024 By City of Eaton Rapids

I hope you are all enjoying a great summer in Eaton Rapids! We’ve had great weather for picnics, music and movies in the park, and kayaking at the Outdoor Recreation Center. Speaking of that, have you seen the new pavilion at Mill Pointe Park? This is the park that surrounds the boat livery directly behind Quality Dairy. This pavilion was constructed from funds the city received from Eaton County Parks. It’s a beautiful addition to this area and we couldn’t thank Eaton County enough! I also want to thank city staff, especially DPW Director Rob Pierce and his staff for much of the work and Visionary Builders. Great job! If you are interested in using this space for an event, be sure to contact Parks Director Corey Cagle at City Hall to reserve it, otherwise just enjoy it!

I am asked often about updates regarding the Horner Mill property. I wish I had one! The City has agreed to a settlement with the current owners, Mill St. LLC, but we are now waiting for them to sign the property over to the Eaton County Land Bank. I had hoped that would have happened by now, but we are confident it will happen. I will keep you all updated when it does!

We will once again be offering a Citizens Academy early next year where city or township residents who want to learn more about the city and city government can take a short 8-week course and learn all about the different departments and functions of the city. The last time this was offered was 2008. I think the first one was in 2003 or 2004 and I attended that course. You really learn a lot so I would encourage any of you that are interested in learning more to sign up. As soon as we have this ready to go, we will post about it on the City Facebook page, and our website. The cost will be $20 and that is to cover the cost of materials for the 8 weeks. Tours of city facilities will also be included.


Have a great rest of your summer, stay safe!

Mayor Pam
