As the New Year begins, Loogootee Mayor Noel Harty is making a push to encourage more community members to get involved in different groups to help Loogootee and Martin County grow into an even better place to live, work, and play. There are several opportunities, such as the city’s Beautification Board, Park and Recreation Board, Land Use Planning Committee, Friends of the Loogootee Public Library, and CALL (Community Action Leading Loogootee), which is led by volunteers and focuses on downtown. County-wide-led organizations such as the Martin County Chamber of Commerce and the Martin County Humane Society are also great ways to get involved. The mayor says he is planning a public meeting soon, inviting all organizations to discuss what role they play in our community and how citizens can join and get involved to make a positive impact in the community.
