Huntington County commissioners approve contracts, permits and transfer of two TIF properties; honor retiring economic director
Summary
At their Sept. 22 meeting the Huntington County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved on-call and task-order contracts tied to roadwork grants, multiple utility permits, an OCRA grant extension, surplus property for auction and a conditional transfer of two county-owned TIF properties to the Redevelopment Commission; they also recognized outgoing HCUED director Mark Wickersham.
The Huntington County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 22, 2025 unanimously approved a series of routine and project-specific actions, including two contract authorizations linked to upcoming roadwork, permit approvals for utility work, an OCRA grant extension and a conditional deed transfer to the county Redevelopment Commission. The board also recognized Mark Wickersham, executive director of Huntington County United Economic Development (HCUED), for 18 years of service; Wickersham retires Sept. 30, 2025.
Why it matters: The approved task order and consulting agreement support work under the 2026 Community Crossings Matching Grant and other road and infrastructure projects; transferring county-owned properties within the TIF district to the Redevelopment Commission shifts responsibility and potential redevelopment authority for those parcels, subject to the RDC accepting the deeds.
