Impact analysis
Incorporating could mean higher local taxes to set up a new city government, but it prevents property owners from getting sucked into city tax rates unexpectedly.
Township leaders and residents keep total control over their local land and don't have to worry about the city taking over their neighborhoods.
The city of Kalamazoo loses out on room to grow its tax base and expand its city limits.
