I am relatively new to the Village of Lake Orion and cannot understand how the elected council and administration for a village government that has been in existence since 1859 does not know the law, charter and rules of procedure for being a village government and council. The council members, administration and village attorney cannot […]
Meals on Wheels in Oxford, Addison and Lake Orion would like to thank Independence Village in Waterstone for providing the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day meals for our homebound seniors. We are grateful for their continuous generosity and delicious food. A special thanks to our dedicated Meals on Wheels drivers who take time out […]
BE AWARE! The Lake Orion Lumber Yard sale to the DDA is about to complete its due diligence. The DDA has asked the Village of Lake Orion to “co-sign” a bond for $5 million. That means that if DDA, for any reason, can’t meet the bond payment schedule that the village is liable for the […]
It would be an admirable goal for 2023 for the Lake Orion Art Center Board of Directors to approach the Lake Orion School Board counsel with the idea that every 6th grader should go to the DIA (Detroit Institute of Art) and Crandbrook Art Museum at least once as part of their curriculum.

I think the action by the Lake Orion Village Council on Nov. 28 regarding the allocation of new TIF funds generated by new developments is a sham! The joint committee formed to study the overall subject of the DDA, was made up of three DDA board members and three council members (who haven’t ever taken […]
The Nov. 28 Lake Orion Village Council meeting was confusing to say the least and highly questionable as to proper procedure. After discussion of seven of the 17 agenda items, including a presentation of the village audit and another on DDA finances that was not on the agenda or in the meeting information, they approved […]
