(La Porte, IN) - Steps are being taken to get downtown La Porte ready for the Christmas season.
The city’s Business Improvement District Board on Tuesday voted to hire a contractor electrical outlets on the decorative light poles working again.
Jamie Novak, the city’s Assistant Project Manager, told the board 41 of the electrical outlets are not working.
The outlets supply power to the lights fastened to the poles during the holidays. Novak said the outlets were tested but why they’re not working will be up to the experts to figure out and solve.
“That could be something as simple as a fuse. It could be more intuitive. I’m not an electrician. I wish I was,” she said.
The contract is for just over $11,000 to be paid for by the BID, which is financed with funds provided by businesses within the district.
Novak said she expects the outlets to be working again well before the start of the holiday season.
