From Dubois County

Afternoon, Reader,

Hope you are staying dry today. Here are a couple items we published today.

The Jasper Park Board dropped its plan to repurpose Seng and Hochgesang parks. That reverses the direction it set in June. City officials had met with the neighbors around both parks first.

Junior Girl Scout Tayah Beard of Troop 281 gave the Common Council suggestions on the micromobility ordinance. The council says there’s more work to do before it’s final.

Toyota’s Princeton plant will build the KEI-01 utility truck, starting in the second half of 2027.

The Bombers announced they hired a new GM of business operations to help oversee day-to-day business operations and other organizational initiatives.

Have a great day.

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane
