On March 18, 2026, the Fort Gratiot Charter Township Board held a regular meeting where members approved corrected minutes from the previous meeting and heard extensive public comment on two main issues: a proposed $1,000,000 contribution to the Black River Canal project and a Health Director's memorandum regarding voluntary discontinuation of water fluoridation. Public opinion on the canal project was divided, with several citizens opposing the township's contribution due to concerns that benefits would primarily accrue to Port Huron and boaters rather than the broader community, while others supported it as beneficial to the region; additionally, one resident requested the board reconsider its vote banning marijuana facilities due to new legislation affecting the CBD industry.
