ELLETTSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - A southern Indiana community is opening up a new Town Hall to replace offices badly damaged by flash flooding more than three years ago.
The new Ellettsville Town Hall is just off Indiana 46 next to the community’s police station. It is several blocks from the downtown area where town offices occupied a former bank building for about 50 years before the December 2013 flooding.
Town Manager Jim Davis tells The (Bloomington) Herald-Times (https://bit.ly/2nJJdWf ) that the town borrowed $2 million to buy the 50-acre site and pay construction costs. The new building includes more office space and a larger Town Council meeting room.
Davis says the 6,500-person town a few miles northwest of Bloomington could use the extra land as a future site for its street and utility vehicles.
