KENDALLVILLE â Shari Targgart is proud to live in Kendallville and she hopes you are, too.
And if not, well, she hopes to work on that as the newest member of the Kendallville City Council.
Targgart is joining the council as the new representative for District 2, replacing Steve Clouse who resigned last month citing needing more time for his law practice and family. Sheâll serve out the remainder of his term, which runs through the end of 2023.
She was selected by Kendallville Republicans to fill the vacancy at a caucus on Saturday morning, finishing ahead of other candidates Ron Stanley and Anna Gibson in the contest.
Last year was a boom year for homebuilding across Indiana, and although Noble County didnât see a record spike in new home construction, numbers were up compared to 2019.
But with new subdivisions under development, 2021 could shape up to be one of the countyâs best years for new home construction in decades.
Despite the pandemic, Noble County saw more new homes in 2020, with the county seeing 121 homes permitted last year.
Thatâs up from 97 total homes built in 2019, one of the countyâs slowest years in recent history. The 2020 numbers fell behind the 141 homes permitted in 2018, but beat the 113 homes started in 2017.
