On Nov. 4 Meridian Township hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Okemos Road Boardwalk. This boardwalk completes the final remaining gap in the pathway system along the east side of Okemos Road. It connects the pathway from Jolly Road to Lake Lansing Road.
Upon entering the cafeteria, the smells of chicken, pizza and wings filled the air. These smells are sponsored by the many restaurants in town that volunteered to cater the Taste of Okemos event at Okemos High School for the Okemos Choir. On Oct. 12, around 16 booths were lined up around the cafeteria. In the middle there were decorated tables where people can sit.
On Oct. 1, Meridian Township Police Chief Ken Plaga and Sergeant Ed Besonen were recognized for their heroism for this act with a tribute presented by State Rep. Julie Brixie at the Meridian Township Board Meeting. This award was given on behalf of Julie Brixie, Gov. Whitmer, Sen. Curtis Hertel Jr. and Lieutenant Gov. Gilchrist.

The sounds of screeching tires and revving engines are the first things you hear when you enter the new go-kart entertainment space, High Caliber Karting, in Meridian Mall. A group of racers speeds around the corner on the blue track. High Caliber Karting isn’t your average go-kart racing experience. This indoor entertainment space is home to one of the largest arcades in Meridian Township, axe throwing, pocket soccer, two full motion virtual reality equipped racing simulators, two high-speed go-kart tracks and so much more!
