Public square brickrow dispute stalls city project
The Sullivan public square paving will stay impassable through winter as contractors Foulkes and Forbes cannot secure Brazil brick. Clinton brick may replace Brazil brick per a proposed contract amendment, debated by the council with Town Attorney Douthitt urging completion before bad weather. Several council members oppose the change, drawing public criticism as merchants suffer from anticipated delays. The piece also recounts Hoosier hospitality events in Indiana with local attendees and guests from nearby towns.
