Last week, the Orion Township Board authorized Supervisor Jerry Dywasuk to sign a Severe Weather Warning System Interlocal Agreement between Oakland County and the Townships of Orion and Oakland.
The agreement calls for the installation of one new tornado siren to be jointly funded by Orion ($8,625) and Oakland Townships and Oakland County, contingent upon satisfactory review by township legal counsel.
Dywasuk said the siren is to be located just south of Orion Road/Kern Road intersection, near the Knights of Columbus Hall in Orion Township.
