I am writing to you on behalf of Orion Art Center to express our unwavering support and highlight our partnership with the Lake Orion Downtown Development Authority. The DDA has supported our 501c3 nonprofit throughout the years, and we are grateful for all of the support and creative collaborations between our two organizations. The DDA […]
To my fellow Lake Orion village neighbors, I’m asking you to vote no to protect the DDA and to keep in place all the funding that makes downtown attractive for residents, businesses and visitors. I’m a 20-year community member and most recently we made the move to the village. My wife and I moved downtown […]
Council President Jerry Narsh opened the Oct. 9 village council meeting with an announcement of the new council procedural rules that limit the time for both public and council comments, as adopted at their Sept. 11 meeting. The new rules are not on the meeting agenda so unless you closely follow past meetings, you don’t […]
I urge my fellow residents to vote no on the Nov. 7 ballot proposal to defund the Lake Orion Downtown Development Authority. Taxes currently collected and reinvested in our village through the DDA’s Tax Increment Financing Plan are at risk of being diverted to other entities. The decision to defund the DDA would mean that […]

I must have struck a nerve! The web site I referred to in last week’s paper has been changed. The official Village of Lake Orion logo has been removed and replaced by a new logo, one similar in appearance to ones used by the DDA. It’s been quoted many times that 75 percent of new […]
There was a website created on Sept. 29 with the headings “Save the Lake Orion DDA”, “Vote NO on Tuesday, Nov. 7!” and “Dissolving the DDA = more taxes for Village Residents!” The Village of Lake Orion “logo” is also prominently displayed on the site. This site has errors or misrepresenting statements. 1. This initiative […]
For the past six years my daughter, Gabby, who has Down Syndrome, has been a Lake Orion Dragon cheerleader. Although she has some physical challenges that the other girls don’t have it never held her back from trying. Was she slower at catching on? Sure. But I have seen an incredible effort from the coaches […]
I read an article in the Review last week that told about Orion Township purchasing the Great Lakes Athletic Club and moving the Orion Center to that location. The GLAC is $8 million to purchase. Please note this does not include moving fees and re-modeling/landscaping that will certainly increase the total amount spent. The Orion […]
