Tecumseh’s Tattler: Tax Hikes, Mill Miracles, and Superintendent Showdowns


Tecumseh, Michigan: Local News Round-Up

1. Another Tax Hike? Why Not!

Get ready, Tecumseh! Your wallets are about to get a little lighter. The city council approved a new millage rate, barely moving from 13.9183 to 13.9364. Just enough to be irritating without any significant change. Clearly, someone’s gotta pay for those fancy new street clocks and town murals, right? ​ (Tecumseh Herald)

2. Hayden-Ford Mill: From Decay to Display

The once-rotting Hayden-Ford Mill has been sold and is set for a dramatic transformation. The new owners plan to revitalize it, keeping the Senior Center intact. Sounds like a win, but let’s hope it doesn’t end up being another half-baked project that drains more tax dollars. Fingers crossed! ​ (WLEN)

3. Revitalization on Evans Street: One Step Forward

In more “let’s make Tecumseh prettier” news, the Products on Evans project is finally moving forward with a $5 million grant. Expect mixed-use housing and retail space to sprout up where Tecumseh Products used to be. Let’s see if this brings more business or just more traffic. ​ (Tecumseh Herald)

4. Superintendent Shuffle: Who’s Next?

Tecumseh Public Schools is hunting for a new superintendent. The interview process starts Saturday, with four candidates vying for the spot. Let’s hope they pick someone who can actually make a difference, instead of just another bureaucrat who talks a big game. ​ (WLEN)

5. Solar Panels: Saving the Planet or Another Nuisance?

Raisin Township is debating a new solar panel development. Because nothing says “we care about the environment” like covering our green spaces with metal and glass. Public hearing’s coming up—get ready for the usual outcry from the NIMBY crowd. ​ (Tecumseh Herald)
