MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, MI-- Marquette Township will have a new supervisor come October 1.
Board trustee Lyn Durant is taking the spot being vacated by Dennis Liimatta, who resigned Tuesday night. He’s moving downstate to be closer to family.
Durant has served on the board for seven years. Officials say they wanted someone who was familiar with the township and its operations to become the new supervisor, instead of training in someone new.
Durant is co-owner of the Cedar Motor Inn.
