TERRE HAUTE, Ind — Terre Haute City Councilman Todd Nation will host a listening session on Saturday February 29th at the Vigo County Public Library downtown. The event will run from 10 a.m. until Noon. Everyone is welcome.
The topic will be the possible use of the Vigo County School Corporation administration site for a parking lot for the new downtown convention center.
The school corporation plans to sell the building and lots at 686 Wabash Ave., and the Capital Improvement Board has expressed interest in acquiring that property. A planned parking garage has turned out to be too expensive for the CIB.
Nation has proposed an ordinance, which would block new surface parking along Wabash Avenue and Seventh Street downtown.
He says that there is better use for a site at the “Crossroads of America” than a parking lot.
The City Council will likely consider the proposed ordinance when it next meets on March 5.”
