It has been reported to the township that a woman came to a resident's home today dressed in a black suit with a black car flashing a badge indicating that she was with the IRS and questioned the resident about property she owned. The IRS is not going to show up questioning you about your property. This incident was reported to law enforcement. We would encourage residents to sign up for the free fraud alert process available through the Houghton County Clerk/Registrar of Deeds Office. You can do it online from the ChassellTownship.org website under the Government tab and click on Treasurer where you will find the link to sign up for property fraud alert.

Last Thursday, Joe Reini from Quincy Materials briefed the Chassell Township Planning Commission during public comment about the company's early stage consideration of Chassell Township among other sites for processing the Gay Stamp sands threatening the Buffalo Reef as well as the stamp sands from other locations. Their interest in Chassell appeared to be based in large part on the long dock at Portage Entry which is protected from Lake Superior. The Planning Commission informed Joe that this part of the township is in the rural zoning district where this type of operation would not be a permitted use and would require an application to re-zone if they decided to pursue the project which would require a public hearing before a decision could be made to allow such an activity. Joe described that the total footprint for all operations, including parking, would require a space less than the size of a football field. He described a gravitational process for processing the stamp sand which would separate the remaining copper bearing material from the basalt without chemicals and that the basalt could be used to substitute for some amount of cement in concrete. The facility envisioned would employ 40 to 60 employees. Concern was raised about sound and about traffic on Portage Entry Road which is already in serious need of repair. The operation would also require three phase power which is not currently available at Portage Entry. There was discussion about a better potential location outside of the township. Residents present at the meeting expressed overwhelming opposition to the project. Based on the feedback received during the meeting, Chassell Township is no longer under active consideration for the project based on community input.
