KOSCIUSKO — Officials from Kosciusko County have been working with six other counties along US 30 corridor to address the States’ long-term plans to improve safety and traffic flow along the highway. Design and engineering will not begin until project funding is identified and an environmental study has been completed. Community conversations and planning discussion have begun in all seven counties of the US 30 Coalition.

City of Warsaw and Kosciusko County officials, in partnership with local stakeholders, representatives from the US 30 Coalition, and the Michiana Area Council on Government, will host a public meeting from 7 – 8:30 p.m. Thursday, May 24, at the Warsaw Community High School Performing Arts Center, located at 1 Tiger Lane in Warsaw. The focus of the meeting will be to present current traffic counts and accident data along US 30 within the county. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to ask questions and comment on the project.  Elected officials will be present.

A freeway project, similar to the US 31 project from South Bend to Indianapolis, is designed to limit access in an effort to improve safety and traffic flow. As this project will have a significant local impact, residents and business owners are strongly encouraged to attend and participate in this important conversation. Community input will play a vital role towards the final project design.

For questions about this project or public meeting, please contact the City of Warsaw Mayor’s Office at (574) 372-9595 or [email protected], or contact Kosciusko County Commissioner Cary Groninger at [email protected]
