Voters took issue with an ordinance passed by the Augusta Township Board in September of last year that rezoned over 33 acres of land from Agricultural Residential to Multiple Family Residential.
By a better than two-to-one margin voters said no. The land is located on the northeast corner of Willis and Hitchingham Roads, and while there would have been no financial impact to voters had they approved the change, it might have ultimately led to more future development.
Voter turnout was just over 20% with nearly 71%t rejecting the issue.
