ALBION â The 5-mile stretch of Old S.R. 3 from Avilla to LaOtto is going to be getting a much needed facelift in 2026 thanks to federal aid money, the Indiana Department of Transportation and the Noble County Highway Department.
The Indiana Department of Transportation announced Monday that $100.8 million in federal transportation funding is being awarded to 54 cities, towns and counties in rural portions of Indiana to invest in local road and bridge improvements as well as sidewalk and trail projects. Combined with local funds, approximately $124.9 million is being invested in infrastructure in communities receiving funds.
Noble County was awarded $4,587,200 for the Old S.R. 3 project.
ALBION â Effective Wednesday, the Noble County Courthouse will return to normal levels of operation, the Noble County Commissioners decided Monday.
The commissioners first announced the closure to walk-in visitors on Nov. 30 in an effort to protect county government employees and ensure that they can deliver the essential services necessary for the community to function during the coronavirus pandemic.
Since that time, all county offices had remained open but citizens have needed to call for an appointment to physically come to the building. The original order was in effect until further notice, which after more than two months is now being rescinded as COVID-19 spread has dropped both in the county and across the region.
ALBION â The Noble County Commissioners gave their blessings to the Noble County Health Departmentâs search for a centralized location to give the coronavirus vaccine â whenever that will be.
âThereâs a lot of unknowns on how this is going to roll out,â Noble County Health Nurse Cheryl Brown said.
What Brown knows for sure â and that can change by the hour she told the commissioners â is that the first doses of the vaccine to be received by Noble County will be the vaccine produced by Moderna. The Moderna vaccine does not require the super cold storage temperatures as the Pfizer vaccine currently being distributed in some areas.
