KENDALLVILLE â Kendallvilleâs solar field project is moving full steam ahead.
The Kendallville Common Council took the next step Tuesday night in approving a funding mechanism for the project on second and third reading. Rules were suspended to help expedite the project.
Before that approval, Tuesday night the council welcomed a new firefighter and supported a recent promotion at the Kendallville Police Department.
Robert Isaacs, the cityâs newest firefighter, took his oath of office from council President Jim Dazey in front of family and friends. Dazeyâs second oath of office came with the swearing in of Detective Doug Davis. Davis started with the Kendallville PD 16 years ago as a dispatcher, two years after that he became a full-time police officer.

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.
