GARRETT â At Tuesdayâs meeting of the Garrett Board of Works, Executive Director Anton King of the DeKalb County Economic Development Partnership shared highlights from 2020 amid the pandemic, âwhich oddly was a record-breaking year from a dollar-investment standpoint,â he said.
âWhat we saw was it was a time to hit the pause button, with companies realizing where to make their dollar investments strategically. DeKalb County was the benefactor of several consolidations,â he said, reporting some $145 million in investments in the county as a whole, a total 43 deals altogether, not only in manufacturing and distribution sector, but also a great deal of commercial activity, commercial expansions and quality-of-life projects, such as Momentive Performance Materials and the expansion of Shortyâs Steakhouse, both in Garrett.
GARRETT â Plans are moving forward to open the Garrett City Pool this summer.
Work has begun this week to dismantle the large, blue slide at the city pool in order for a new slide to be installed this spring, according to Parks Superintendent Eric Mossberger.
The city is taking applications for lifeguards and will train them for the season, with the mindset that the pool will be open this year. Applications can be made at City Hall or on the cityâs webpage.
City Planner Milton Otero told the Board of Works Tuesday the 2021 Boundary and Annexation Survey paper maps have been updated and submitted. Savings from 2019 and 2020 Community Crossings Matching Grants will be submitted as a change order to the Indiana Department of Transportation, reflecting new amounts.
