TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Two Terre Haute City Council members have authored a resolution that will go before the entire council next week asking for more information regarding the county’s plans to locate a new jail within the city.

Vigo County commissioners announced plans last month to put a new county jail on the former International Paper property on Prairieton Road on the city’s southside.

Todd Nation and Martha Crossen want to know why the county changed their plans from asking for rezoning of the site to a variance.

Both city council members feel this could set a bad precedence on how others utilize property within the city.
