Ypsilanti Township
buys land
By DAVE WAK
Courier Correspondent
The Ypsilanti Township Board of Trustees voted 7-0 on two bond resolutions to purchase about 150 acres of land for recreational and economic use.
The land, which once made up the old Seaver Farm, is on
the west side of Huron Street, north of the U.S. Post Office. The township
had fought and won a long legal battle with a developer who wanted to put
a manufactured home community on the land.

Chapelle Community School Principal Joe Guillen is planning a party to celebrate Chapelle’s reclassified status as having passed the federal government’s Adequate Yearly Progress requirement for the 2002-2003 school year.
It was a long and tiresome procedure, said
Superintendent David Zuhlke. MEAP scores were excessively late last year
and the district wasn’t notified until last December that Chapelle was
classified at Priority 1, meaning the school would have to restructure in
an effort to improve.
