Garfield Township is exploring regulations for food trucks and data centers as discussed in a joint board meeting. A proposed zoning amendment could allow food trucks as accessories to established businesses, with further expansion to parks and events contingent on success.

The township is also considering a shift for data centers from permitted uses to special use permits requiring public review, addressing community resource concerns. Planning for a new trailhead at Grand Traverse Commons and updates on various development projects were also addressed. Ordinance drafts are expected by summer, with discussions on a potential moratorium on data center applications.
