During a joint meeting Monday, the LaGrange County Council and the LaGrange County Commission voted unanimously to give just over $2.2 million towards the Innovation Center Project.
LaGrange County Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Sherri Johnston presented the request to the joint board, explaining what it would do for LaGrange County. ...... {LISTEN}.
The building is located at 2500 North Ventura Lane, just off of County Road 200 North.
Once it’s renovated, the building will house the LaGrange County EDC, the LaGrange County Chamber of Commerce, a meeting center that can be used by the community and a child care center.
Johnston shared that other organizations have also pledged money towards the project which has an overall price tag of $4.6 million. ...... {LISTEN}.
