Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) launched a crowdfunding campaign to help gather funds for the Town of Winamac’s Memorial Swinging Bridge lighting project.
The goal is to raise $30,000 in funds by September 15, 2022. If that can be achieved, the volunteer group leading this project supported by the VFW Post #1728 will receive a matching grant as part of the IHCDA’s CreatINg Places program.
Funds from this campaign will be used to add thousands of waterproof LED lights to the suspender cables, towers and under the walkway of Memorial Bridge, along with a computer system to control the timing and colors of the lights.
The Memorial Swinging Bridge is one of 12 suspension bridges in the state of Indiana, the third oldest that remains in use, and the only one in national and international databases to cross the Tippecanoe River. In 1923, the Memorial Swinging Bridge was dedicated to soldiers and sailors from Pulaski County.
