The necessary MDEQ permit has been obtained and the first application has been completed. Brandon Township will also support the Village of Ortonville in two extra sprayings for mosquitoes during the summer and early fall. 3. SPECIAL INTTIAITVES Brandon Township will also conduct a screen repair program for area senior citizens who may be the most vulnerable group for catching west nile virus.
