Portage Bonds Fuel Land Revival

Portage is betting big on its future with a $15 million bond to transform a prime 300-acre northside site—once eyed for a Bears stadium—into a hotspot for development. Funds will build a new bridge over Burns Waterway, extend Burns Parkway, demolish the old Garyton School, and upgrade Salt Creek access and key intersections. Officials stress every dollar is aimed at attracting investors, with land sales projected to net $14 million within five to six years—paying back the bond while fueling Northwest Indiana’s economic revival.
