One of the signature neighborhoods in downtown Logansport will have an interpretative center that will be funded in part through a grant from a regional consortium. Arrow Head Country, a 10-county resource, conservation and development organization, has awarded the City of Logansport the $1,000 it requested as a matching grant for an interpretative center for Bankers Row. The center will be located along Eel River Avenue.
Logansport Historic District Board of Review will emerge from dormancy with a new cast of board members. They are new members Dr. Valerie McCray, Barbara Stein, Paul Kroeger, and Jan Newton. Two returning members, Vickie Lebo and Angie Burns, will serve out terms that expire on Dec. 31, 2018. A seventh member, Tom Partridge, will serve out a four-year term that expires on Dec. 31, 2016. The commission was started during the administration of former Mayor Jone Wilson in part to promote Bankers Row and its renovation and redevelopment. Kitchell says the board will continue to meet quarterly and will be looking at various properties and neighborhoods in the city that need more attention from preservationists and investors interested in investing in historic properties.
