As the Valparaiso City Council considers financing arrangements for the Linc development, questions are also being raised about how it got to this point. The $37 million project would replace the Round the Clock restaurant on Lincolnway with three four-story apartment buildings with ground floor retail space.

The City of Valparaiso has set up a financing mechanism for a proposed downtown parking garage, but not without some opposition. The 300-space Lincoln Highway Garage would be built at the northeast corner of Lincolnway and Morgan to coincide with the Linc development.

One outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic has been a renewed interest in golf. Valpo Parks Executive Director John Seibert says use of the two city-owned courses had been in a tailspin before COVID.

Valparaiso residents have a chance to weigh in on a proposed property tax increase. The city's Cumulative Capital Development Fund rate is currently just over one cent per $100 of assessed valuation. Now, the city council is considering an ordinance to reestablish the fund at its maximum rate of four cents, starting in 2023.

The City of Valparaiso is preparing for some future road improvements. The stretch of Harrison Boulevard where it intersects with Yellowstone Road on a reverse curve near Discovery Cottage needs some help, according to Mayor Matt Murphy. "That's a crazy intersection. It's busy, and it's well-needed," Murphy told the board of works last week.
