The Marshall County Commissioners will receive an update on the 7th Road project when they meet this morning. Bart Trester from USI Consultants will relay the progress of the extension of the road to the new U.S. 31 highway. Among the aspects of the project, the roundabout needs to be completed. In a previous meeting, Trester noted that the project should be done in May. The completion deadline has already passed. Crews ran into unsuitable soils that needed to be addressed before work could continue. That delayed the project by a few weeks.

Penny Lukenbill from the treasurer’s office will request an extension of hours, so taxpayers have every opportunity available to pay property taxes. Property taxes are due to the Marshall County Treasurer’s office on May 10.

Plan Director Ralph Booker will discuss a Marshall County Zoning Ordinance amendment, and Tippecanoe Township Trustee Matt Pitney will request the county’s assistance in obtaining a grant.

The Marshall County Commissioners will meet at 8:30 a.m. ET in the second-floor meeting room in the Marshall County Building in Plymouth.
