From the meeting
On September 1, 2026 the Planning Commission forwarded the proposed Article 16A battery energy storage systems (BESS) ordinance to the Township Board for approval, subject to legal review. Members added a project labor agreement provision to help the Township qualify for additional state grant funding and revised financial security to be required before site work, construction, or operation. The item is still open on waiver language and outside legal/technical review before final board action.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
