The Starke County Council will receive an update on the rural opportunity zone when they meet tonight.
Starke County was recently selected for Indiana’s Rural Opportunity Zone Initiative. The idea behind the designation was to collect community input on possible projects community members would like to see developed and put together an investment strategy. Starke County Economic Development Foundation Interim Executive Director Lisa Dan will update the council on developments so far.
The council members will also consider a request from Prosecutor Leslie Baker concerning a new position in her office, and review a request from Sheriff Bill Dulin about a Healthlinc grant.
The Starke County Council will meet at 5:30 p.m. CT tonight in the ground floor meeting room in the Starke County Annex No. 1 building at 53 E. Mound Street in Knox.
