MARCS TOWER Update                                        
We realize that many of you are most excited about the new MARCS Tower for Knox Township.  This tower will provide much needed advanced radio communications for the local fire departments, state highway patrol and local law enforcement, and also provide high speed internet services to the township and surrounding areas.  At the present time, MARCS is in the process of preparing a bid package for potential contractors and expects to award the bid shortly.  Within the next couple of months, construction should be started.  OmniCity will be providing the high speed internet service for interested residents.  We will keep you informed as more information becomes available. The Knox Township Cable Committee was comprised of Jonathan and Tasha Bloor, Ryan Andrie, Don Moody, Pat Whitaker and Doug Jarvis as well as Trustee Carver and Fiscal Officer Hartzell.  Thank you to all residents for their support of this project.

It will be here before we know it!!!!!!!!!!  The 2010 Mile Branch Grange Fair will be held on July 22-24, 2010.  As always, there will be great food, tractor pulls, hog wrestling and much more.  The Board of Trustees will once again offer a township display in the commercial building.  We invite you to come and look at our display again this year which will include pictures, a PowerPoint presentation on our cable/internet quest and a short survey for your completion.  Members of the Board will be on hand to greet you and answer questions and/or concerns.  Please make sure to stop in and say hello!!!!!!!!!!!
