Plymouth-Canton Patch to Launch June 28

We've got exciting news for Patch readers.

Starting June 28, Plymouth Patch and Canton Patch will combine to become Plymouth-Canton Patch.

You can expect the same in-depth coverage of both communities, as we highlight news and events in the City of Plymouth, Plymouth Township and Canton Township.

One thing we've noticed about Plymouth and Canton is that, besides sharing , residents of each town frequent the other. Whether it's for shopping, dining, festivals or sporting events, the communities complement one another.

After hearing feedback from readers and extensively covering both since we launched the Plymouth and Canton Patches in 2010, it became apparent that the two communities would best be served with one site.

As it was before with both sites, the goal for the combined Plymouth-Canton Patch is to make life ridiculously easy for you and your neighbors.

The new site will continue to be a one-stop destination for everything about Plymouth and Canton. This means news content, blogs, events and announcements for the two communities will now be accessible from one site.

Business listings also will all be in one spot, substantially widening your options if you're looking for a place to dine. You will no longer have to search each site separately to find the perfect place.

I'll still be your editor and you'll still see me at important events in both communities. If I miss you, don't hesitate to drop me a line at john.mckay@patch.com or (810) 986-9481.
