The Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals meeting was held November 11, 2026. The board heard land-use petitions, with no government procurement, contract awards, or public spending decisions identified. A major continued case concerned PWI’s proposed industrial expansion in Jefferson Township. The company described millions of dollars in past investment and plans for continued growth; the board granted the variance, with one member opposed. Other approvals included an exception for a home-based greenhouse, several residential additions or reconstruction projects, and accessory-structure variances, some with conditions such as removing a fence from a road right-of-way or moving a shed farther from it.

The board continued several cases for further work or information: a proposed boathouse pending Department of Natural Resources input; a residence proposal requiring revised plans and re-advertising; and a shed proposal continued for 30 days to explore an alternative layout. The marina fence petition was withdrawn, with the petitioner indicating an intent to return with a more complete site plan; board members emphasized addressing required parking as part of that plan. These were zoning and property-use decisions rather than procurement activity.
