Government Services by Silver Creek Township

Silver Creek Township held its first board meeting on May 11, 1858, shortly after the Wright County Board of Commissioners officially established the township on April 6, 1858.

The Township is governed by five elected supervisors, each serving a four-year term. Elections are held during November of even-numbered years.

Board Meetings are held:

• 1st & 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. 
• Located at the Silver Creek Township Hall
• If a meeting date falls on a federal holiday, it will move to Thursday at 7:00 p.m.
   

All meetings are open to the public. Agendas and minutes are posted online for anyone who cannot attend in person.

Established in 1976, the Planning & Zoning Committee was formed to review land use, development, and zoning requests within the township. It serves as an advisory board and plays a key role in maintaining the character, safety, and long-term planning of Silver Creek.

This board is made up of five appointed members, each serving a three-year term, working alongside the Town Board.

Important Notes:

• The committee recommends approvals or denials, but final decisions are made by Wright County Planning & Zoning or the Wright County Board of Adjustment. 
• Applicants are responsible for presenting their requests to the county after township review.
• The committee also handles CUP/IUP annual renewals (Conditional/Interim Use Permits) and reports those recommendations to Wright County.
   

Meetings are held:

• 1st Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m., followed by the regular Township Board meeting.
