ALBION â Noble County Commissioner Anita Hess knows how precious and limited parking is around the Noble County Courthouse Square while construction work is being done on the new annex.
In fact, Hess said she had to drive around the block twice before finding a spot before Mondayâs meeting.
Once in session, the commissioners agreed to contact Doug Bonar, the person who owns the building which currently houses the Noble County Prosecuting Attorneyâs Office about using that accompanying parking lot after normal work hours.
âRight now, nobody parks there at night,â Albion Town Manager Tena Woenker said in making the case for more parking.
ALBION â The Albion Town Council took a high-tech turn in its discussions during the councilâs April 26 meeting.
Councilmen Darold Smolinske and John Morr had both watched an economic development video the town had purchased. Smolinske came away with a totally new perspective for attracting businesses to Albion.
The conversation came on the heels of Town Manager Tena Woenker discussing a webinar opportunity May 15 concerning broadband internet access to be put on by the engineering firm DLZ.
Woenker said there are grants which can be applied for concerning such improvements.
âThis is important for business,â Morr said. âIf thereâs anything we can do to improve internet service in Indiana, I think we should.â
On April 26, it will likely become the first telepharmacy in the state to close.
Warsaw-based Pill Box Pharmacy announced in a letter sent to customers Thursday that after two years in operation, its Albion location will be closed effective April 26.
Town officials said Friday they have already begun the process of trying to find a replacement pharmacy for the town.
âWe are really sad to hear of the closing of the Pill Box Pharmacy in Albion,â Albion Town Councilman John Morr said. âWe plan to contact other pharmacies to see if they have an interest in our community.â
Morr was a driving force behind legislation allowing telepharmacies in the state as well as bringing the Pill Box to Albion. The pharmacy opened on Feb. 11, 2019.
ALBION â The grant money is there for a program that would provide visibility to the Arc Noble County Foundations.
Finding someone to do the time-consuming regular reporting which comes as a requirement for such a grant may be the stumbling block. As such, Noble County Economic Development Corp. Executive Director Gary Gatman said Tuesday night he would approach Noble County officials about being the municipal body the funding would be funneled through.
Albion Town Manager Tena Woenker pitched to the Albion Town Council the idea of applying for a $75,000 Community Connections for People with Disabilities grant on behalf of the Arc, which is headquartered in Albion.
