From Dubois County

Hey Reader,

A couple of headlines today, but first, I wanted to let you know I updated the election information shared yesterday because there were a couple of changes to the candidates. You can see those changes in the story.

Huntingburg is moving forward with a water rate increase after a discussion at last night's regular meeting. They also heard a request for a moratorium on all developments from residents concerned about the AES Crossvine development.

Advance Sports Supply/Sherer Development announced that it is acquiring Erny Sheet Metal. According to Owner Corey Scherer, the move is good for both companies.

Plus, a lot of other headlines below.

Have a great day.

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane
