County adopts ordinance establishing Infrastructure Development Zone
Summary
The commissioners approved Ordinance 2025‑02 to create an Infrastructure Development Zone in Blackford County, a move presented by the county economic development director and Mainstream representative to facilitate infrastructure investment.
Blackford County commissioners voted Nov. 3 to adopt Ordinance 2025‑02 establishing an Infrastructure Development Zone (IDZ). Warren Brown, director of the Blackford County Economic Development Corporation, and Mike Wilson of Mainstream presented the ordinance; Commissioner Dan Borgenheimer moved to adopt it, Commissioner Laura Coons seconded, and the motion passed 3–0.
The ordinance creates a local framework intended to promote infrastructure investment in selected areas of the county.
