A large crowd was on hand for a public hearing at the Knox County Courthouse in Vincennes Thursday evening hosted by the Knox County Redevelopment Commission. They are proposing to expand the area in which monies collected from the property taxes on the Duke Energy Power Plant at Edwardsport can be spent. The Commission would like to spend that money over a greater area of northern Knox County instead of just the plant location and immediate area around it. Both supporters of the proposal and those against it were heard during the session with all the opinions being taken under advisement for further study and review. No firm decision was made with a vote potentially coming in the future.
