Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Upgrade
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has an active procurement underway to bring its public-facing website into ADA compliance ahead of an April 2027 deadline. Failure to meet this mandate creates legal exposure and limits equitable digital access for residents, with allocated budget already in place for the 2026/2027 fiscal cycle.
The opportunity
The NGWSGP grant (deadline August 2026) offers a direct funding path, and cooperative purchasing through MiDEAL can accelerate compliant procurement. Acting within the current fiscal window ensures the township meets its compliance deadline while maximizing available public funding.

Discuss this project →Microsoft 365 Migration with Cybersecurity Hardening
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has approved a transition to Microsoft 365 Commercial, exposing gaps in password security, anti-phishing training, and endpoint management that leave staff and public data at risk. Without complementary cybersecurity controls in place, the migration introduces compliance and operational vulnerabilities during a critical modernization window.
The opportunity
The approved M365 transition and allocated 2026/2027 IT budget create a clear, time-sensitive window to address cybersecurity gaps. The EMPG grant deadline in July 2026 offers a direct funding path, and acting now ensures controls are in place before the migration expands the township's attack surface.
Emergency Operations Plan Development and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a standalone Emergency Operations Plan and has no documented HSEEP-style exercises, relying solely on the county EOP. This gap creates meaningful NIMS compliance exposure and jeopardizes eligibility for federal preparedness funding.
The opportunity
The EMPG grant, with a July 2026 deadline, provides a direct funding pathway to close this preparedness gap with limited local match required. Acting now ensures compliance, protects funding eligibility, and strengthens the township's independent emergency response capacity.
Cybersecurity Awareness & Anti-Phishing Training Readiness
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An identified gap in cybersecurity awareness and anti-phishing training, combined with no existing password management solution, leaves staff and systems exposed. The ongoing transition to Microsoft 365 expands the attack surface, elevating organizational risk across operations and public data.
The opportunity
EMPG grant eligibility with a July 2026 deadline provides a near-term, funded pathway to close this training gap with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with the M365 transition timeline and reduces compliance and operational risk before exposure escalates.
IT Endpoint Management & Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a centralized endpoint management solution, and ongoing data center discussions signal broader IT infrastructure gaps. The approved transition to Microsoft 365 Commercial increases the need for coordinated device oversight and cybersecurity controls to protect public systems and data.
The opportunity
The approved 2026/2027 IT support budget and EMPG grant funding—with a July 2026 deadline—create a near-term window to address endpoint and infrastructure gaps. Acting now aligns investment with active budget cycles and streamlined procurement available through Michigan's MiDEAL cooperative.
