WARSAW — County Commissioner Cary Groninger showed his support for KEDCo’s interest in investigating the CR 1300N corridor during a Kosciusko County Redevelopment Commission on Thursday, July 13.

The investigation process would involve a consultant being hired to evaluate the potential for the area. KEDCo CEO Alan Tio presented two proposals from consulting firms interested in the project. The redevelopment commission opted to schedule a separate meeting for each party to present their proposals to the commission at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 10.

After designating significant amounts of funds to the resurfacing of CR 1300N and the building of an overpass, Groninger said this would be a great opportunity to set the area up for success in the future.

Other business discussed at the meeting included:

• Shifting of roles between commissioners occurred at the meeting, with Jan Orban stepping down from the vice-president position and Doug Hanes filling that position. The secretary position is now held by Dan Thystrup. This was done for legality purposes.
• A TIF review was presented in accordance with IC 36-7-25-8
