Kochville Township Pathway

Spicer Group originally worked with Kochville Township in 2003 by updating their Recreation Master Plan. When the development of the Recreation Plan was in progress, several public participation meetings were held to gain knowledge of what residents of the area would like to see in the future. One common item that residents agreed on was the development of a multi-use pathway.

Spicer Group aided the Township in applying for an MDOT-TE grant to help pay for the cost of the proposed pathway. The Township was awarded the grant and received $270,000 from MDOT. Spicer Group provided the design and construction administration for the 4.5-mile pathway.

A $570,600 MDOT grant was awarded in 2012 in conjunction with Kochville Township. Spicer Group assisted with the grant writing, administration, design, and construction administration on the project.

The completed pathway now links the Township’s business district, which includes a newly developed Super Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club, with Saginaw Valley State University, the North Saginaw Charter Academy Schools and the newly developed 27-acre Elmer Lange Park. The path also weaves through several natural wildlife habitats and encircles a lake located in the park. In 2018 the Township was awarded a $300,000 Trust Fund Grant through the DNR to continue the path westward to Tittabawassee Township.
