Economic development director: wind and solar projects start construction, manufacturing prospect in progress
Summary
BCEDC Executive Director Warren Brown told the council wind and solar projects have begun construction (Lake Trout expected last) and said he is pursuing a potential new manufacturing company for Blackford County; he also noted a proposed $500 per-truck fine for route violations.
Warren Brown, executive director of the Blackford County Economic Development Corporation (BCEDC), reported to the County Council that multiple wind and solar projects are under construction in the county and that the project named 'Lake Trout' will be the final site to begin construction. Brown said he continues to work to attract a new manufacturing company to the county.
Brown also told the Council that a proposed enforcement measure — a $500 fine per truck, per occurrence, per day — would apply to trucks off designated routes and that fine revenue would be directed to the Highway Department.
