The 2026 Plan also adds property to the acquisition list and explicitly authorizes providing financial assistance to entities to encourage or incentivize construction, expansion, or ongoing operation of child care facilities within the area.m. at Ligonier City Hall, after which the Commission will take final action. This sets up future land acquisition, site development, and incentive-backed childcare facility projects that will require planning, design, construction, financing, and operational partners once the plan is confirmed.Vendors in economic development, real estate, childcare facility design/build, grant consulting, and program operations can begin positioning to support projects and to help potential childcare operators take advantage of the new financial assistance provisions.

The Amending Declaratory Resolution and supporting maps/data are available for inspection at the Clerk-Treasurer’s office, City Hall, 301 South Cavin Street, Ligonier, Indiana.
