BCEDC director: Obi's opens, AEP EMA grant applied for, truck routing for wind/solar raised
Summary
Warren Brown told the council that Obi's has opened, BCEDC applied for a $7,500 EMA grant with AEP, and staff are working on off-route truck issues related to wind and solar projects.
Warren Brown, executive director of the Blackford County Economic Development Corporation, reported three brief updates. "Obi's is now opened," Brown said. He also reported that BCEDC had applied for an EMA grant with AEP for $7,500, and raised concerns about off-route trucks associated with wind and solar construction; Brown said he is coordinating with John Pluimer on the routing issue.
Brown's remarks were presented as informational. Council members did not take any formal action during the meeting on the updates; the items were recorded as part of regular department reporting.
The BCEDC updates are intended to inform council priorities for local business support and to flag potential logistics conflicts related to renewable-energy construction in the county.
