The official go-ahead has been given to a $22 million overhaul of the historic Michigan City courthouse.
The renovation and expansion of the 1909 courthouse along U.S 12 at Washington Street will be financed under a 15-year lease without an increase in property taxes, LaPorte County Council President Randy Novak said.
Under the plan given final approval May 8 by the county council, $8 million will be paid up front out of the county’s emergency fund supplied annually with county income tax dollars, known as CAGIT, or County Adjusted Gross Income Tax, he said.
