MILLBURY - A new Lake Township businessman hopes to grow his company, make money and do it by the book.
The trustees gave him a chance at Tuesday's meeting, approving his zoning change request.
"I have great plans and visions for the future," said Bruce Hoyt at the zoning hearing which was held after the regular trustees' meeting.
Hoyt owns Michigan Protein Inc., 5963 Walbridge Road. The zoning change, from A-1 agricultural to M-1 light industrial on 1.34 acres, was needed so he could operate his waste vegetable oil storage business.
Hoyt said he collects vegetable oil waste from a dozen area restaurants, processes it, then sells it to the agricultural department, which uses it in a feed mixture for chickens and pigs.
