Starke County Commissioners Discuss Trail Head Project at Bass Lake

The Starke County Commissioners discussed the Stellar Communities ongoing project at the trail head at Bass Lake.

The $333,000 grant was awarded to the Stellar Communities but no updates have been given to the commissioners.

Starke County Auditor Rachel Oesterreich told WKVI News that in February or March a rebid on the project was done due to rising construction costs. She added changes have been done to the original design without the commissioner’s acknowledgement and they are not sure what has changed and what is planned to be done going forward.  

The commissioners stated they need someone from the Stellar Communities to come to an upcoming meeting and explain what is going on and what changes to the designs have been made so they can be aware of what the county’s grant match will be toward the project.
