WORTH TWP — Supervisors and residents collaborated on a noise ordinance at Tuesday’s meeting that stemmed from complaints about a music festival last fall.

The board approved a motion to advertise an ordinance with some changes made following discussion with residents.

“I think it was a good compromise,” said Chairman Fred Brezel.

If approved, the ordinance would establish a permit procedure for an event using amplified sound systems.

The township has no noise ordinance.

It was inspired by conflicts with the Resonance Music Festival at Cooper’s Lake Campground in September. At the time, residents made numerous complaints about noise from the festival.
