2007: a Year in Review

January Highlights •DOWNTOWN PROJECT IS MOVING ALONG •CHAMBER AND REDEVELOPMENT MAKE THE MOVE By Mandy McFarland Editor NAPPANEE Moving day can be a hassle. There are boxes to pack; items to keep track of and vehicles to load and unload. Yet, according to Larry Andrews, executive director of the Nappanee Area Chamber of Commerce, relocating the Chamber and Redevelopment offices could not have gone smoother. The move took place on Thursday, Dec. 28. The Chamber and Redevelopment offices were formerly located in the same complex as the Elder Haus, the Nappanee Boys and Girls Club and the Main Street apartments. The offices are now located inside of the new Nappanee Center. They occupy the portion of the building that is known as the Welcome Center, where visitors will be able to go for information and to plan an itinerary of their visit to Nappanee. •ELDER HAUS By Mandy McFarland Editor NAPPANEE When the Chamber of Commerce and Redevelopment offices moved to the new Nappanee center downtown, they left behind valuable office space. The solution? Fill it! That is exactly what Elder Haus, Nappanee's Senior Center, has done. Director Connie Fink intends to use the available space to expand Elder Haus and to hopefully begin offering new services. •WAKARUSA DIME STORE CELEBRATES 100TH YEAR By Mandy McFarland caiior WAKARUSA

Monitoring the sewers, that is. With a bid of 5265,079, it looks like that "somebody'' is going to be Middlebury Electric, Inc. of Goshen. City clerk-treasurer Kim Ingle made the announcement at the weekly Board of Works meeting on Friday, Dec. 22. Of the three companies that placed bids on the CSO (combined sewer overflow) project, Middlebury Electric had the smallest. That means that they expect to be able to complete the project in that amount of money. The smaller a company's bid, the less the cost to hire them.
