A special Huron Township board of trustees meeting will take place Wednesday, July 28 at Township Hall.
The sole item on the agenda is a presentation by Sterling Group/Hillwood concerning a text amendment to zoning ordinance at the Pinnacle property.
Currently, a moratorium is placed on future warehouse development at the Pinnacle property.
The developers want to have this moratorium lifted so that they can further development at the site and build more warehouses.
Currently at the site is two massive warehouses that will house Amazon fulfillment centers.
During a recent planning commission meeting, officials voted against lifting the moratorium. The decision will eventually be brought before the board of trustees for final approval.

Amazon’s new Huron Charter Township location is an “XL” Non-Sortable Fulfillment Center, designed to receive, store and package heavy or bulky items, like TVs over 50”.
Sign-on bonuses of up to $1,000 are available at the Huron location.
Additionally, a $100 benefit will be offered on the first day of work to any new hire who comes to Amazon already vaccinated for COVID-19.
Work opportunities include full-time warehouse associates who will make at least $15.50 per hour (up t $18.50), with no prior experience necessary.
In addition to hourly wages, Amazon says it provides employees with a highly competitive, comprehensive benefits package starting on day one including healthcare, disability insurance, 401(k) with 50 percent match, company stock, bonuses and a network of support to help employees succeed.
Amazon says it also offers hourly employees innovative programs like Career Choice, where the company will pre-pay up to 95 percent of tuition for courses related to in-demand fields, regardless of whether the skills are relevant to a career at Amazon.
In Metro Detroit, Amazon employees, their spouses and children, also have exclusive access to Neighborhood Health Centers – located in Royal Oak, Westland and Brownstown – that offer in-person and online appointments for a wide range of affordable health services.

After being closed down for indoor service for nearly three months, restaurants can once again open their doors to customers for indoor dining starting today.
Restaurants will have to abide by strict rules to help stop the spread of COVID.
Those rules include ensuring tables are six feet apart, and to operate at 25 percent capacity, and a limit of 100 people allowed inside.
Only six people will be allowed at each table under the new rules.
Restaurants will also have to close by 10 p.m.
Will you visit restaurants now that they are open for in-person dining?
Let us know in the comments section of this article.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services released an order today reopening indoor dining begenning Monday, Feb. 1.
The order will allow for indoor dining at restaurants with certain requirements; concessions at casinos, movie theaters and stadiums; personal services requiring mask removal; and non-residential gatherings of up to 10 people from two households.
The new order will last three weeks, until Sunday, Feb. 21.
“The pause has worked. The efforts we have made together to protect our families, frontline workers and hospitals have dramatically reduced cases and we have saved lives. Now, we are confident that starting February 1, restaurants can resume indoor dining with safety measures in place,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. “Michigan continues to be a national leader in fighting this virus, and we must continue working to keep it that way. One of the most important things Michiganders can do is to make a plan to get the safe and effective vaccine when it’s available to you. And as always, mask up and maintain six feet of social distancing. We will end this pandemic together.”
“We are pleased to see the improvements in case rates, hospitalizations and percent positivity that have allowed us to reopen more activities,” said Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, chief medical executive and chief deputy for health at MDHHS. “However, we must remain vigilant, especially since we now have a new more easily transmitted variant of this virus present in our state. This is not the time to let our guard down and Michiganders should minimize their risk by avoiding gatherings, wearing masks properly, social distancing and making a plan to get their vaccine when it is their turn.”
MDHHS says it has been closely monitoring three metrics for stabilization or declines over the past several weeks.
Michigan continues to see improvements in these metrics which has allowed for additional relaxing of protocols and reopening of activities. In recent days:
• Hospital capacity dedicated to COVID-19 patients has been in seven-week decline, with current capacity at 9.9% for beds with COVID-19 patients. Peaked at 19.6% on Tuesday, Dec. 4.
• Overall case rates: Currently at 225 cases per million. Peaked at 740 cases per million on Saturday, Nov. 14, plateaued after a decline to 239 on Friday, Dec. 25 and has been in decline for 11 days.
• Positivity rate: currently at 6.8% and declining.
Restaurants and bars will be allowed to reopen at 25% capacity with up to 100 people.
Tables must be six feet apart with no more than six people per table. Outdoor tents with four sides are permitted under these same rules.
Bars and restaurants must close by 10 p.m., and contact information must be collected from diners for contact tracing purposes.
“Today’s announcement is possible because of our progress over the last two months,” said Robert Gordon, MDHHS director. “Even so, the science is clear that unmasked, indoor activities like dining and drinking are still a source of high risk around COVID-19. The safest course remains to support your favorite restaurant with carryout, delivery or outdoor dining. If individuals choose to eat out, there are two things they can do to make it much safer: go out only with members of their own household and choose a restaurant participating in the MI COVID-19 Safer Dining certification program.”
The voluntary MI COVID-19 Safer Dining program allows food service establishments to become certified by having their ventilation system inspected and submitting their inspection report to the state indicating they are optimizing airflow. Once certified, businesses will be featured on the Michigan.gov/covidsaferdining website and receive a copy of their certification to post at their establishment to alert diners of their participation.
Funding is proposed for food service establishments to participate as part of the $10 million included in the recent supplemental budget request for restaurant supports administered by the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Two webinars will be hosted on Monday, Jan. 25 to provide additional information about the Safer Dining certification program – one at noon for HVAC contractors interested in conducting inspections and one at 3 p.m. for food service establishments interested in becoming certified. More information will be available at Michigan.gov/covidsaferdining.
Indoor residential and non-residential gatherings are limited to 10 people and two households. MDHHS continues to urge families to avoid indoor gatherings or to pick a single other household to interact with consistent with guidance already released by the department.
Families are encouraged to stay home as much as possible to maintain momentum and to protect loved ones, and are also encoured to wear masks in public.
