Gaylord

Those suffering from substance abuse and going through rehabilitation sometimes need to stay somewhere long-term that will help ease them back into society. Michigan's recovery housing options are limited, but a $2.5 million grant is looking to change that.

One year ago, a tornado ripped through Gaylord, killing two people and damaging the livelihoods of many more.

After an investigation, law enforcement determined the threat made last week to Gaylord High School was a prank in an attempt to get another student in trouble.

The Gaylord Long-Term Recovery group is leading the effort to plant trees that were lost during the tornado that swept through the city on May 20, 2022.

The city anticipates over 250 snowmobilers from across Michigan and neighboring states. Local leaders say the event is a huge boost for the local economy.

In a 5-2 decision, the Gaylord City Council passed a motion this week to hear plans for a new State Police post in the city.

Over $500,000 of state funds will help Otsego County municipalities recover costs accrued in the aftermath of an EF-3 tornado touching down in May.

It’s been less than a week since a tornado hit Gaylord, and residents are getting ready to celebrate the community’s centennial.

The Superintendent of Gaylord Community Schools, Brian Pearson, reflects on the aftermath following an EF-3 tornado striking the town and how students never missed a day of school.

Gaylord Chief of Police Brian Claeys said he has been working with state emergency management officials to help access damage caused by an EF-3 tornado that ripped Gaylord last Friday. On Tuesday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced that her request for an expedited analysis of the damage for federal relief was granted.
