MTA is committed to keeping our member townships updated as quickly as we can, providing answers to your questions, and access to the resources and information that you need. In addition the key topics and issues, we have assembled links and information (found below) to critical state and federal departments and agencies, such as the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, executive orders from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and more. We are continually updating and providing new sources of information for our member officials, so check back often and follow MTA’s COVID-19 update emails and publications for further updates.
