LAGRANGE â When Tharon Morgan learned sheâd been hired as LaGrange Countyâs new highway department engineer, she said she felt like she was coming home.
Morgan, a civil engineer, is a 2010 graduate of Prairie Heights High School and a 2013 graduate of Trine University. In the years since she graduated from college, she worked as both a land surveyor and as a staff engineer for the Indiana Department of Transportation in Fort Wayne.
The highway department engineerâs job, she said, is the best of both those worlds.
Morgan was hired earlier this month, filling a job that sat vacant for nearly two years. Her duties include helping to design new road rebuilding projects, helping to oversee the countyâs bridge projects and act as a liaison between the county and the stateâs transportation department.

LAGRANGE â The LaGrange County Commissioners spent a little time Monday morning at their first meeting of 2021 doing a little housekeeping, reorganizing their board.
Newly elected Commissioner Kevin Myers was named the boardâs new vice president, replacing Commissioner Terry Martin in that position who was named the boardâs president at the commissionerâs last meeting of 2020.
