Saline town plans metropolitan factory city and lake resort
A Saline, 12 miles south of Brazi, plans a vast development to build a manufacturing city and an resort with a 1000 acre artificial lake on the Tirch creek site. The lake would support a fish farm and boating, using timber-cleared canal land to keep costs low. Proponents see Saline City as a future great manufacturing hub at the edge of the coal region, at the Vandalis and Horonsville Indianapolis junction, 20 miles southeast of Terre Haute. The site carries historical echoes from 1855 when Gov. and state troops protected canal property.
