BILL TO SUPPORT METAMORA OPERATIONS PASSES COMMITTEE: State Sen. Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg) presents Senate Bill 209 to the Senate Committee on Natural Resources at the Statehouse Thursday, Jan. 18. The bill would establish the division of historic sites within the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and transfer management of state historic sites to the division.
"Many of our historic sites, including the Metamora canal in Franklin County, are in poor shape and critical need of support," Leising said. "It is disappointing to see these locations, which symbolize our state's heritage, in this condition. By enacting this bill, our historic sites could see greater support and rehabilitation."
