The North Judson Town Council was asked to consider contributing money toward the Constellation of Starke Stellar Communities initiative when members met last Monday.
Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe explained that participating communities are being asked to offer a monetary contribution.
The funds will be used to help offset the cost of hiring a consultant who will assist with the creation of a Regional Development Plan and additional matters associated with the Stellar Communities process.
Clerk-Treasurer Rowe asked the members if they would be willing to put $5,000 toward the effort.
Starke County Economic Development Foundation Director Larry Wickert noted that the County and City of Knox have already committed up to $30,000 collectively.
The Starke County Community Foundation is also looking to apply for a grant that could provide additional funding for the cause.
The members decided to take the request under advisement. The topic will be addressed again when the council meets in June.
