Dexter prepares for 1st phase of Mill Creek Park project

The village of Dexter is making preparations for construction on the first phase of the Mill Creek Park project this summer.
The village has roped in a $450,000 grant and is working out the permit process with the state so it can begin construction. Look for shovels to start digging into the ground in July.
"It's moving forward," says Donna Dettling, village manager for Dexter.
The plan calls for a combination of urban park with recreational resources and natural areas filled with trees, shrubs and small woodland creatures. The concept is the work of Ann Arbor-based
JJR
. The first phase calls for working on the section by downtown between the Dexter-Pinckney Road bridge and the cemetery.
The park will run alongside approximately one mile of the east bank of Mill Creek between
Warrior Creek Park
and Shield Road. It will be integrated into the city's proposed river walk, highlighting the section of Mill Creek that borders downtown.The idea behind the park is to open up the creek to more village residents and downtown patrons.
