Vigo County certifies one covered bridge on road system to qualify for state funding
Summary
The Vigo County auditor told commissioners the county has one covered bridge on its road system, at Fowler Park, and the commission approved certifying that count to the state comptroller’s office so the county can receive covered‑bridge maintenance funds.
Vigo County commissioners voted on June 3, 2025, to certify the county’s covered‑bridge count to the state, an action required to receive certain state distributions for covered‑bridge maintenance.
“Office of Indiana State Comp Controller is collecting statewide data to determine the eligibility for covered bridge funding,” Miss Tretchings said, and she asked the commissioners to approve the county’s certification that it has one covered bridge on the county road system, located at Fowler Park.
Commissioners approved the certification and Tretchings said she would sign the form after the meeting. The auditor said the certification is an annual requirement; when asked how much funding the county might receive, she estimated “around 16,000 some odd” dollars but did not provide a precise figure.
The item was handled as a routine county administrative certification; no further action or conditions were placed on the certification during the meeting.
