Churches plan various services for Holy Week
By Emma Rausch
The Wabash Presbyterian Church will host a community-open Good Friday service on April 14.
Presented by the Wabash Area Ministerial Association (WAMA), local pastors will help the community reflect and remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ during the 40-minute worship service, “Stations of the Cross: Walking with Christ.”
“(The service) is to reflect upon the sacrifice that Christ made on the cross,” WAMA President Tom Curry said. “That’s key to take time to reflect upon that and to do so in a setting where we’re with Christians from other churches is a huge plus. I think it cultivates the kind of spirit that we should be about.”
“It’s powerful to share that moment with members of the community, some you know and others you don’t,” Presbyterian Pastor Jonathan Cornell added.
WRT's first phase has $4.8M cost
By Joseph Slacian
The first phase of the Wabash River Trail – from Lagro to Wabash – could cost an estimated $4.8 million.
That is the figure cited in the WRT committee’s application for more than $960,000 from the Northeast Indiana Regional Development Authority’s Road to One Million program. The Paper of Wabash County obtained a copy of the 424-page application, as well as a 10-page updated report submitted to the RDA in February.
The funds -- $960,236 in all -- would come from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s Regional Cities Initiative Fund. The RDA received $42 million from the IEDC last year to be used “to transform their regions into nationally-recognized destinations to live, work and play,” according to the IEDC website.
County planners lift WRT stop work order
By Joseph Slacian
A stop work order issued to the Wabash River Trail committee will not be lifted until later this month.
The Wabash County Plan Commission met Thursday night and agreed to lift the ban. The ban was issued March 20 after it was determined the group worked on the project in a flood plain without receiving the proper permits from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
