It has really helped downtown because there’s more people there, in my opinion, partly because the scooters have attracted them.” Development is happening at a rapid pace for the City of Logansport’s basic needs, as well. A new 50-plus housing subdivision is going in north of The Junction, the city’s first standalone police station is set to open in 2023, and the county-run hospital is constantly upgrading its facility with a new birthing center, rehab center, and cancer unit. “The hospital is always under construction,” Cuppy says. “They have been able to locate a lot of doctors here because some still like that small town, not huge, hospital-owned facility. They’re very forward-thinking and a big part of our community.” When it comes to workforce development, Logansport also has plans underway to start up a healthcare and manufacturing initiative with nearby Ivy Tech Community College. “That will assess the needs, create the curriculum, and start getting these skills more throughout our community than they were before,” Cuppy says. “We have a career center, we have Ivy Tech, but we have to find a better way to utilize the Ivy Tech facility to match up with our local industry.” The City of Logansport hopes to maintain its development momentum and growth as the years move forward. Up next, they are hoping to invest in some much-needed infrastructure improvements, which will include new roads and seven miles of new sidewalks. Mayor Martin shares, “We want to continue that economic growth, while continuing to focus on the importance of local municipal government. It’s our priority to make sure that our public safety is where it needs to be, while making sure that our streets are good, and our parks are great – the basic necessities of a municipality.” Learn more at tysonfoods.com Proud to be a part of the Logansport Community. ®/™/©2022 Tyson Foods, Inc. 28210833 Join us at U N D E R D E V E L O P M E N T C I TY OF LOGANSPORT , INDI ANA
