South Lyon Community Update: November 4-14, 2026

Election Day is behind us, and now it's the game this whole town has been waiting for: South Lyon vs. South Lyon East, with a district title on the line! With twins at Millennium Middle School, I know how big this one is. Here's what's happening in South Lyon.

News

The Lyon Township Library millage is too close to call. The new 1.1-mill, 10-year operating millage for the Lyon Township Public Library was separated by a razor-thin margin in election-night returns, and outlets are reporting different unofficial totals. I'll share the result once it's official.
