Winamac Town Council Discusses Future of Community Pool Project

Posted on Author Jacque Ryan

The Winamac Town Council met for a special session last night to discuss a few matters, including the future of constructing a new community pool.

Funds that were previously expected from Pulaski County are not available due to a shortfall in local income tax revenues.
