The Ingham County Road Commission would greatly appreciate if residents and service vendors could assist them by assuring:
-
That mailboxes are winter worthy.
-
That vehicles are pulled into driveways for clearing of snow and grading of gravel roads.
-
That trash receptacles are placed far enough off the road on pickup days so they do not get hit by the snow plow.
These few things make road maintenance much more efficient and allows the workforce to get through all the roads during cleanup of winter storms.

We are proud to state that White Oak Township’s own David Sheathelm (previously White Oak Township Treasurer) was appointed to the Ingharn County Road commission twice. He served as secretary and just completed serving as chairperson of the board. He is retiring from the Ingharn County Road Commission after fulfilling 12 years of service. Thank you David for doing a great job in serving the people of Ingharn County on the Road Commission. Best wishes in all you future endeavors.
