Northfield Township is at a crossroads as voters prepare to decide whether to keep its independent Road District separate or merge it with the township government. With $2 million earmarked for critical road and flood control upgrades—especially in the south—the Highway Commissioner insists the work can proceed even with a tax cut, thanks to a hefty budget surplus. But township officials are raising red flags over questionable contract awards and work outside the district’s scope, despite backing infrastructure improvements. The board has approved the budget anyway, while the Road District also partners on a $53 million regional flood project. Plans also include modernizing the district’s main facility and possibly buying new electric trucks via grant. Construction timing remains TBD, with schedules to follow contract finalization.
