From the Office of Supervisor Handy
Thanks
to the Thousands of Patient Residents
I want to thank
all the residents who came to Redford Township’s first fireworks
in over 30 years. I especially want to thank our Township employees
(Police Department, Fire Department, Department of Public Works,
and Parks and Recreation) who worked diligently to prepare and execute
a safe event. The large turnout of well into the thousands is a
good indication that the residents want more community events such
as this and we will have more.
Technical Difficulties
The fireworks
display was supposed to start at 10:20 p.m. but, due to electrical
problems beyond our control, the show was delayed until approximately
11:00 p.m. The safety of our residents was our first concern. Thanks
to the efforts of many Township employees, we were able to save
the show. The contractor does firework displays for many municipalities
in neighboring communities, and has assured me that next year he
would make it up to the residents of Redford Township. I apologize
for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone.
