Zoning Commission
The members of the Zoning Commission meet at the Township Hall on the second Monday of every month at 7:00 PM. The Commissioners are non-elected officials who serve staggered five-year terms and are residents of the Swanton Township community.
 
Commissioners are charged with the responsibility of acting on requests for changes to zoning classifications, changes to the text of our resolution and recommending action to the Board of Trustees. They also act on site plan submissions.
