  • rendering of the Memorial Opera House and sheriff's residence renovation and expansion plans
    Porter County leaders, residents debate Opera House renovation
    Michael Gallenberger
    Plans to renovate and expand the Memorial Opera House are drawing opposition from a Porter County commissioner. The $6.5 million project would replace crumbling bricks and windows at the Opera House and the former sheriff's residence, and build a connector between the two. A proposal to use federal American Rescue Plan funds to pay for it drew backlash from residents. Now, some county officials want to use foundation money, generated by the interest earned on the proceeds of the hospital sale.
