Kalamazoo County's board was set to vote on taking over Asylum Lake Preserve
The Daily Portage team
Kalamazoo County's board was expected to approve an interlocal agreement Wednesday evening to take over maintenance and operation of Asylum Lake Preserve, WKZO reported. Western Michigan University's trustees unanimously gave their vote of confidence to the transfer plan at their meeting on Friday. WKZO's report ran before the county meeting, so we don't have the vote itself.
The transfer isn't final until the Legislature acts.
