The Bartholomew County Council will discuss a possible contribution to the overpass project taking vehicles over the railroad tracks at State Road 11 and Jonathan Moore Pike heading into downtown Columbus.

Half of the $30 million dollar project will be paid for by the state, with the rest being paid for by local entities. Much of the local portion will be paid for out of tax increment financing districts in Columbus, including one that only includes Cummins Engine Plant on Central Avenue.

The county is considering a $2 million donation. Council members have invited Mayor Jim Lienhoop to discuss the financing for the project. Tomorrow night’s meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the county governmental office building on Third Street.

You are invited.
