The city approved transferring $100,000 from capital outlays land to professional services to allow for the technology park.
Councilman Jeff Grose made the motion to approve the fund transfer, seconded by councilman Jerry Frush.
The council approved the transfer based on a recommendation from Warsaw Redevelopment Commission.
The park will be located on the north side of U.S. 30 along the east and west side of Silveus Crossing and CR 200W.
Browning Investments and American Structurepoint will develop a master plan for the technology park including transportation, planning, infrastructure planning, utility layout and building and parking locations.
The groups also will assist in marketing materials and negotiate with a contractor for the construction of the building.
Charlie Smith, Warsaw Redevelopment Commission president and councilman, said the technology park will allow the city to compete with other counties.
“The life blood of a community is to either grow and bring jobs and wealth or go downhill,” Smith said. “I think the technology park is something that has been needed for some time.”
Smith said Browning Investments is a local company that will bring a great deal to the project.
Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer said the city has worked hard with Kosciusko Economic Development Corp. to create the technology park designation.
“With the need for developable ground we’ve got a great start,” Thallemer said.
The council also approved a $250 transfer from communication and transportation to improvements other than buildings for the demolition of two Buffalo Street properties that have been acquired by the city in the last month.
The properties will be torn down next week, according to Jeremy Skinner, city planner.
The council also approved $100,000 in reductions to the 2012 cumulative capital development budget including a $5,000 reduction to the professional services budget and a $95,000 reduction to the building’s budget.
The reductions are necessary to prepare for the 2013 cumulative capital development budget, according to Lynne Christiansen, Warsaw clerk-treasurer.
The council reviewed information that a Community Meth Workshop is Oct. 23 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Center Lake Pavilion.
A Community Conversation is Oct. 30 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Orthopaedic Capital Center at Grace College. Local partners for the event include Kosciusko County Community Foundation, Warsaw-Kosciusko County Chamber of Commerce and OrthoWorx.[[In-content Ad]]
