Knox County Commissioners Playing Wait and See with Current Project

Efforts continue to prepare the former Knox /County Poor Farm land to become the County’s Emergency Operations Center. If built, that building wou ld house, among other departments, the Knox County Central Dispatch location.
Several efforts have been made over the years to save the Poor Farm building. However, Knox County Commissioner T-J Brink says the community’s money and men couldn’t put the Poor Farm back together again…
BRINK :10 oq … BACK TOGETHER
However, Brink points to a major Legislative hurdle that could sideline the project…
BRINK :12 oq … A TAX
The Senate bill Brink is referring to is the pending State Senate measure to provide property tax cuts for Indiana’s landholders. Many municipal governments are concerned those cuts could also mean deep cuts to their operating revenue.
