State Sen. Ron Alting (R-Lafayette) made the following statement today in response to Gov. Eric Holcomb's announcement that the Indiana Finance Authority will oversee the INTERA water study:
STATEHOUSE (Nov. 14, 2023) — "In recent months, I have heard from many Tippecanoe County residents who have expressed concerns regarding the water supply issue for the LEAP Innovation District in Lebanon.
"I, too, have concerns about the potential of pumping millions of gallons of water per day from Tippecanoe County.
"I was born and raised in Tippecanoe County, graduated from Lafayette Jefferson High School and Purdue University, and raised my family here. I want to see the county and its residents succeed.
"While I am happy to see the Indiana Finance Authority take oversight of the INTERA water study, I continue to have concerns for the overall project.
"During the upcoming legislative session, I plan to work with other area legislators to ensure all Hoosiers have access to the water supply they need."
