County Farm Barn Roof Still Waiting on Insurance Step
From the Blackford County Commissioners meeting on September 21, 2026
A county-owned farm barn roof remained unresolved at Monday's commissioners meeting, where Harry Pearson warned the structure could be lost if repairs keep waiting and President John Lancaster said the county had been waiting on an itemized estimate for its insurance company.
Pearson said the roof was the worst he had seen it in four years. Lancaster replied that the estimate had arrived either that day or the week before.
No vote was taken during the exchange, and no repair amount was stated. The discussion did establish that the county still had not moved to visible repair work and was tying the delay to the insurance claim process.
