MWB Contracting had donated 10,000 yards of topsoil and fill to the Orion Township Parks and Recreation Department.
The board of trustees accepted the donation, valued at $25,000, at the May 3 board meeting. The donation, along with dozing of the material, is being offered by MWB for Friendship Park, at the corner of Clarkston and Baldwin Roads.
Parks and recreation director Rock Blanchard said the donation would be a ‘tremendous cost savings? to the township, and the fill will be used to balance an area that is planned for future athletic fields.
