Michigan City mayor suggests mural for NIPSCO lakefront cooling tower

Stan Maddux The Times(1) Comments
There's talk in Michigan City about brightening the NIPSCO cooling tower, which many people believe instills a negative image.

Mayor Ron Meer said things are still in the discussion stage but one idea he likes is using a projector to create a laser show of logos about festivals and other special events on the tower to welcome visitors during those attractions.

"This has been tossed around for many years," said Meer.

City Councilman Tim Bietry said one of the impressions people get when they see the tower along U.S. 12 is "that it appears to be nuclear."

The generating station is not nuclear and burns coal to produce electricity.

Meer said suggestions on how to improve the appearance of the cooling tower were again brought up this week during meetings to discuss downtown revitalization.

"There's a multitude of ideas and suggestions that are coming in about that," Meer said.

Lasers on the Dunes part II?

Being that art is so very subjective, I don't think they should put anything up on that tower. It is what it is, a BIG funny looking tower. Putting lipstick on it won't change anything.

They should put a big sign on it that says, "This is not a nuclear reactor. It burns coal to keep your lights on."

I agree! It should have a big neon sign right on the cooling tower that says "Powered by Clean Coal" or something like that.
