The vision for the facility is for it to be self-funded from an operational standpoint and to be an economic driver for county businesses as a sports and community complex. This would be done through hosting elite athletic tournaments, recruiting related business tenants and trade shows. Funding for project development would be done through grants, private investment and general county funds, the release said.
“This proposed project will not increase taxes for any resident,” Murphy said in the release. “The final numbers on this project have not come in yet, but several community stakeholders have come forward wanting to partner on this project. Should this project proceed, it will be a collaboration with multiple public and private entities.”

The Daily Telegram
TECUMSEH City officials in Tecumseh now have a tool that will allow them to control where industrial hemp facilities are located in the city and their operation.
The city council on Monday voted 7-0 to approve an amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance to make industrial hemp facilities a special land use in areas of the city zoned for industrial use, or I-1.
Those places in the city zoned I-1 are the area of the former Tecumseh Products Co. from East Cummins Street to Russell Road plus some lots on the west side of South Evans Street, on the east side of South Maumee Street and across East Cummins Street from the former Products parking lot; the industrial park along Industrial Drive south of Russell Road, the Kirchhoff Automotive plant property on East Chicago Boulevard; and the south end of Meyers-Diver s Airport.
