SUPERIOR TWP.–Hyundai America Technical Center Inc. announced a donation of $39,500 to Washtenaw County’s Superior Charter Township to support the revitalization of the Dixboro Historic School House, a community landmark in the unincorporated community of Dixboro. The announcement was made on Friday, May 30, during the Dixboro Market Day event.
“We are honored to contribute to the preservation of the Dixboro Historic School House and to support a project that enhances the unique appeal and historic charm of this exceptional community,” said John Robb, president, HATCI. “This contribution reflects our ongoing commitment to the local community and our dedication to bettering society through meaningful, local initiatives.”
The Dixboro Historic School House, once a one-room learning center, now serves as a community gathering space—hosting performances, farmers markets and cultural events. This investment will help support critical restoration efforts, including the installation of a bathroom facility to expand usability, reparation and replacement of historic windows and interior cosmetic upgrades to increase functionality for community events and performances.
“We are deeply grateful to Hyundai America Technical Center for this generous contribution to the revitalization of the Dixboro Historic School House,” said Emily Dabish Yahkind, Superior Township Supervisor. “This project represents our shared commitment to honoring the past while creating a vibrant and welcoming space for future generations. Thanks to Hyundai’s support, this treasured community landmark will continue to serve as a hub for connection, culture, and celebration in the heart of Dixboro.”
Superior Township has a population of 14,832 in the 2020 Census and offers historic towns, agricultural lands, and natural areas such as the Superior Greenway. The township is committed to preserving its heritage while fostering sustainable growth and community engagement.
