Historic preservation commission welcomes new member and discusses local redevelopment updates
Summary
The Angola Historic Preservation Commission introduced Nancy Ross as its seventh member, reported completed elections for officer positions, and reviewed redevelopment activity at 108 South Wayne and the former Karma building at 200 South Wayne.
The Angola Historic Preservation Commission introduced Nancy Ross as the board’s final (seventh) member at its April 15, 2026 meeting. Ross was described as a lifelong Steuben County resident who retired after 30 years at the Indiana Department of Transportation and later worked five years in the street department.
Commission members said elections to fill officer roles (president, vice president and secretary/treasurer) are complete for 2026. The board briefly reviewed previous minutes and updates on local rehabilitation projects, noting progress at 108 South Wayne — a building vacant for about 30 years that is being remodeled and has attracted interest from one or two prospective businesses — and expressed hope the newly reopened 200 South Wayne (formerly Karma) would apply for facade grant funds to repair storm damage.
Members also discussed the commission’s public-education work — including cemetery tours and other outreach — and confirmed the next meeting for May 20, 2026 at 4:30 p.m., when the commission expects to vote on photo-contest winners and may hear another case. The meeting adjourned by motion and second.
