WARSAW —

Warsaw Mayor Jeff Grose is applauding recent efforts to enhance the downtown by Main Street Warsaw.

Already, initial plans to establish a festival street are underway, and last week, Kosciusko County offered its support to seek grant money that will look at First Christian Church, which needs significant repairs but is viewed by Main Street Warsaw as a possible multi-faceted art center.

Those two plans are part of a long-term effort to bring more art-related attractions and other amenities to the downtown.

While there is significant uncertainty about the future of the church building located across from the Kosciusko County Justice Building, Mayor Jeff Grose applauded the vision.

Grose made the comments for a recording of In The Know, the public affairs show that airs this weekend on Kensington Digital Media radio stations.

Grose talked about the upcoming Anchorage Road construction project, which begins March 16, and the new downtown parking police was expected to receive final approval on Friday by the board of works.

Also part of the show was an extended interview with State Sen. Ryan Mishler, who helped craft Indiana's plan to construct a stadium in Hammond for the Chicago Bears.

Illinois lawmakers are expected to soon make a counterproposal to keep the Bears in Chicago.
