From the Blackford County Commissioners meeting on October 19, 2026

Blackford County commissioners voted 3–0 to proceed with a $28,000 estimate to repair the county-farm barn roof after approval of an insurance claim for spring wind damage.

The payment split discussed was $18,000 from insurance and a $10,000 county deductible. The chair corrected a speaker who had reversed those amounts.

The roof had remained unresolved at the September 21 meeting while an insurance step was pending. Monday's vote allowed the repair to move forward. The estimate concerned the large barn, not the machinery building. No work schedule or contractor was identified.
