(La Porte, IN) - The La Porte Street Department is taking on pot holes more aggressively than ever. In fact, officials say in 2024 alone, they've filled close to 10,000 potholes, and more are on the list.

That’s according to Mayor Tom Dermody, who reiterated his mission of keeping the city pot hole free during his State of the City speech on Monday.

“Thanks to the residents who take pride in our community and report potholes, we’ve repaired over 9,600 this year with the majority of being filled without our goal of 48 hours,” he said.

Last year, Dermody said more than five thousand pot holes were filled in the city, meaning the number fixed nearly doubled in 2024.
