The restroom project at Norwayne Field in North Judson is expected to begin in late July or early August this year.
The project was awarded funding from money received from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) for Constellation of Starke reaching the finalist stage in the 2019 Regional Stellar Communities Designation process. A pavilion project in Knox and a trail head project at Bass Lake were also included in this funding.
Brown and Brown will be completing the work after bids were accepted by the Starke County Commissioners for all of the proposed projects in the county.
North Judson Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe said the entire project will include the construction of restrooms at Norwayne Field, a concrete pad area for picnic tables and benches along the restrooms, concrete sidewalks that will connect to the circle walk, and parking lot improvements. The town will receive $127,300 in Community Development Block Grant funds for the project, along with the town’s match of $48,442.
