Welcome to Rutland Charter Township. We hope that this website is useful to you.
A BROADBAND UPDATE: Barry County Telephone Company's wireless internet through Message Express Internet is available to some of our residents; however, it does not reach everyone right now. We recently made contact with Connect Michigan, a non-profit in the State of Michigan. They were commissioned by the Michigan Public Service Commission to work with all broadband providers in the state to find the remaining gaps in broadband availablity in Michigan. Barry County has recently been in contact with Connect Michigan as well, and we are hoping that by working together we will have some success at getting a broadband internet provider to the township.
