Commissioner Meeting Notes May 17, 2023. 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.  Audio

Post and comments at Brown County Matters.

• Indian Hill RR Crossing. Audio begins at 19:00.  Hallelujah!  Commissioners with a 2 to 1 vote, agreed to petition the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) to re-open the crossing. Commissioners had the power to close the crossing. Only INDOT has the power to consider re-opening.  The Railroad can appeal the decision to re-open.    Commissioner Sanders was the No vote and wanted more information regarding potential costs.

Representative Matt Pierce has taken the lead in representing the legislature’s interest in supporting the re-opening.  Our State rep Erik Koch and House Rep Dave Hall have also expressed their support for re-opening.
