Valparaiso Welcomes The Linc to Downtown

In Valparaiso, city officials say the completion of three major projects adds new housing, retail opportunities, public parking, and infrastructure improvements to the downtown. The city says The Linc mixed-use development, the Lincoln Highway Garage, and streetscape and utility upgrades represent a significant public-private investment and further strengthen Valparaiso’s walkable core. “Adding these amenities to our thriving downtown fills long-time needs and sets our city up for continued success,” said Valparaiso Mayor Jon Costas. “These projects bring new neighbors, new businesses and new energy to Valpo while improving the infrastructure that supports our community for decades to come.” A news release says construction of The Linc and the garage also created the opportunity to modernize essential underground infrastructure, and the city replaced aging utilities and separated stormwater and sanitary sewer systems, improving environmental sustainability, system reliability and long-term service for downtown businesses and residents.
