Starke County Residents Invited to Participate Broadband Readiness Planning Tonight

Posted on December 2, 2019
Author Jacque Ryan, WKVI

The process is underway for developing a Broadband Readiness Plan for Starke County and residents are invited to play a part in the plans creation during an open house tonight.

In order for the plan to accurately reflect the values and goals of community members, officials need input from residents and business owners of all ages.

The public event will be held tonight from 5 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. at the Starke County Annex Building #1, located at 53 E. Mound Street.

Since it will be an open house format, people can stop by for as little as 15 minutes to review information and provide feedback. All input gathered during the open house will guide the direction of the Broadband Readiness Plan.

In addition to the open house, a brief presentation on the project will also be provided during the Starke County Commissioners meeting, which begins at 6:30 p.m.

As a reminder, the County was awarded a $50,000 Broadband Readiness Planning Grant last year to assist with developing a plan which will identify goals for the next 5-10 years and serve as a road map for the development of reliable and affordable high-speed internet technology.

The plan will contain a vision statement, goals and strategies for improving broadband infrastructure throughout all of Starke County. The final adoption of the plan is expected in January of 2020.

Courthouse and Old Jail Renovations Wrapping Up

Posted on April 4, 2017
Author Mary Perren, WKVI

The renovations to the Starke County Courthouse and former jail building in downtown Knox are on schedule and under budget.

Contractors will clean the exterior of both buildings this week with an organic solution to brighten the brick and stone. However the clock tower on the courthouse will be done later this year because a heavy boom lift will be required.

Interior work at both buildings is wrapping up, and various departments are in the process of moving into their new space. The probation department moved into the former jail last week, and the prosecutor’s office will move into the courthouse soon.

A public open house is scheduled Tuesday, April 18 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Starke Circuit Judge Kim Hall will offer remarks during a program on the courthouse lawn, and tours of both buildings will be offered.

Commissioner Kathy Norem wants taxpayers to see how the county is spending money and says the open house will be the only opportunity to see areas that will eventually have restricted access.

The courthouse will have one point of entry once the renovations are finished. Metal detectors will be installed, and uniformed officers will be stationed there as well.
