LIGONIER — Drivers navigating torn-up Union Street will have to endure the street’s condition a little longer, until the weather warms and the street can be properly paved.
LIGONIER â Ligonier will include repairs to three alleys along with Chapman Street in its next Community Crossings grant application round, due soon.
The board of works heard Wednesday that the project will cost an estimated $764,000. If the grant quest is successful, the state pays 75% and the city, 25%.
âIâm happy to see this include alleys,â said Mayor Patty Fisel. âItâs a sign of progress to move from streets to alleys.â
Board of works members Fisel, Steve Clouse, Tom Janes and Earle Franklin affirmed their support for soccer programs and disc golf tournaments at Kenney Park.
Park director Travis Brimhall asked for input in resuming the soccer program in the spring. The soccer program was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, but the fall football program was conducted within state and county health guidelines. Brimhall said the soccer program could be managed with the same health guidelines used by the fall football program.
