Our Plow Drivers have been out since 4:00 AM CST this morning. What we are experiencing is that every part of Starke County has different snow total amounts and some drifting in several areas. North of US 30 and East of 900 E. has had on and off, white out conditions, with over a foot of snow in certain areas. We have pulled our plow drivers out of the Koontz Lake area until visibility increases. However, we will return to Koontz Lake today as soon as the conditions get better. Please use extreme caution if there is a need for you to travel in the Koontz Lake area today.

Along with Starke County EMA and County Officials, the decision has been made to keep our county at the current level of travel “WATCH” (Orange). A travel status pertains to the county in a whole, it cannot be designated to just one area. We will continue to monitor the situation and revisit the travel status as needed.

It was a packed auditorium at Knox Community High School tonight as the Starke County community gathered to say a resounding “No” to data centers.

The Planning Commission unanimously passed a resolution recommending that the Starke County Commissioners approve a 12-month moratorium on data centers.

The next step is for the commissioners to consider denying or approving the moratorium at a future meeting.
