GREEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The people living in Green Township in Mecosta County have decided all five of their board members will be replaced.

A petition was filed over the summer by voters claiming the board wasn’t listening to the voice of the people when it came to the building of the controversial Chinese owned-Gotion electric vehicle battery plant.

The Gotion plant has been in the news and a topic of much heated discussion for several months in the Big Rapids area and across the state.

A petition was filed by voters to recall the Green Township supervisor, clerk, treasurer and two trustees after claims that the township wasn’t listening to the public when it came to Gotion.

Tuesday night, voters chose to replace all five board members.

Also on the ballot was whether to create a planning commission. It did not pass.
