Starke County officials will look to see what it takes to become a Regional Stellar Community.
Starke County Economic Development Foundation Executive Director Larry Wickert asked the commissioners last week if they’d be willing to get things started in applying to become a Stellar Community.
“It’s a hard thing to get, but I think it would be good for us to make that effort,” said Wickert. “The communities seem to be interested. One thing is we need to know is if the county would be willing to look at it and set a meeting, have Jerry White come out, and the community and the county could come together and discuss what all would be involved to see if we can get a consensus.”
The commissioners agreed that it could help the towns of North Judson and Hamlet, the City of Knox and the unincorporated areas in the county including Bass Lake and Koontz Lake and the many townships.
Wickert will be arranging a meeting soon to get details on how to get started and what costs would be involved in moving forward with the application.
