Good morning, Mishawaka.
🏛️ Government
Mishawaka Mayor Dave Wood delivered his 15th State of the City address on April 14th at City Hall in front of council members, city officials, and local youth advisors.
He reaffirmed his commitment to the Mishawaka Way—highlighting projects like Project Shoe City that raised over $123,000 while outlining plans for new developments that will boost the community.
St. Joseph County commissioners declared a local disaster emergency for damage from severe storms on March 30—many homes still face downed trees and property damage.
Emergency Management is gathering data to help the county meet state reimbursement thresholds within 30 days.
INDOT will hold a public meeting on April 24 at New Prairie High School to share details of the 'diverging diamond' design planned for Indiana 2 and Larrison, a project set to cost tens of millions and help reduce crashes.
St. Joseph County recently approved a $1.4 million contract to expand Larrison north of the intersection, supporting future traffic needs at the upcoming GM/Samsung battery plant.
Before today, the Mishawaka City Council voted to seek state approval for water and sewer services for the new Microsoft data center in St. Joseph County.
The council submitted an application to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission — a move that came amid county officials’ concerns over misfiled 2014 paperwork involving Granger Water and the regional sewer district — following the vote.
Officer Richard Freeman was named Officer of the 4th Quarter for 2024—his quick action while monitoring a home on Ardennes Street led to a coordinated police response that caused a suspect to flee and helped prevent further unrest.
The city and Mayor Dave Wood recognized his proactive approach and sound judgment in protecting public safety.
