(LaPorte, IN) - There’s considerable interest in redeveloping a piece of lakefront property in LaPorte.

 Mayor Tom Dermody says developers are asking about the old Don George Ford property along

Pine Lake Ave. near the U.S 35 overpass.

 

Last year, local officials expressed interest in kayaking on the waterfront property.

Dermody says things are still taking shape but a restaurant along with kayaking and other

related uses sound attractive.

When a deal with a prospective developer might be reached is not known.
