Diane Bogenrieder to Township: 'We are a Plymouth Community'

City Commissioner Diane Bogenrieder was the first to address the Township Board of Trustees after it voted to not participate in the Plymouth Arts and Recreation Complex project, but also to refrain from entering into an authority with the City of Plymouth until November 2016.

[Watch her response above.]

The township's response comes after both the City of Plymouth and Plymouth-Canton Schools have made resolutions work with the PARC Committee to rehabilitate Central Middle School for recreational use after it closes in 2015.
Treasurer Ron Edwards said during the meeting that the middle school is in the City of Plymouth and that he wants nothing to do with the city after many disputes over the fire department and money. 
Don Soenen, spokesperson for the PARC Committee, said the Board of Trustees was completely out of touch with the community. 
"I can't believe this kind of activity by a governing body," he said. "This project has been driven, in large measure, by Plymouth Township residents - myself, Bob (Doroshewitz), Deb Madonna - we're all Plymouth Township residents. When we did the Penn Theatre, nine of the 10 people who put up the money to save the Penn Theatre were from Plymouth Township. We never made the distinction that it was in the city."
