New Uses Explored for Old Car Lot

(LaPorte, IN) - A former car lot in LaPorte could have a totally different use in the future. 

City Planner Tom Casey says anything from retail to recreation could go where Don George Ford used to be along Pine Lake Ave. across from Dunkin Donuts.

 

Casey and Mayor Tom Dermody visited the site yesterday and mentioned facilities for kayaking as another possibility for the property. The city recently acquired the property vacant for many years now.
