OHS instigated the Orion Township Reconnaisance Survey for Preservation in 2005 working with Orion Township Board of Trustees to allocate project funds from 2005 and 2006 township budgets.  A preservation consultant will update information on township wide historic resources using the State Historic Preservation Office Manual for property surveys.   The township Planning Commission will use this expanded information in planning development of Orion Township.

 As of January 2006, the survey bids from interested consultants are being reviewed by a committee of township officials and OHS volunteers.
