White Lake Township Civic Center Site Progress March 2026

EXTERNAL AFFAIRS – FEBRUARY 2026

There are many active projects in the approval process. 

• The Lasting Impressions project (White Lake Rd. & Coastal Pkwy) slowly continues work on their Final Site Plan.

• The old Calvary Lutheran church site (M-59 & Sunnybeach Blvd), referred to now as 9101 Highland, appeared before the Planning Commission and was granted revised Special Land Use approval for an additional outdoor eating area, and their Final Site Plan was approved.

• Final engineering plans are now under review. A residential project called Edendale Crossing (Bogie Lake Rd & Cedar Island Rd.) was considered by the Planning Commission on February 4th and received preliminary site approval at the February 17th Board meeting.

• Tractor Supply is seeking approval for an addition within the garden center (east of the building) and that project is under review.

• Vertical Bridge is requesting approval for a new cellular tower on Eric Drive (North of Cooley Lake Rd. & East of Ford Rd.) on a site that is approximately 5 acres in size. At the applicant's request, this project was postponed until one of the March Planning Commission meetings, in order to provide further analysis.

• Finally, Jax Car Wash (Meijer out lot at the Northwest corner of M-59 & Bogie Lake Rd.) received a recommendation for Preliminary Site Plan approval at the December 4th Planning Commission meeting and also received preliminary site approval by the Board at the February 17th meeting.
