Bureau County Board spending money to support countywide transportation

Christmas is coming early for folks who run and use “B-PART” or Bureau-Putnam Area Rural Transit.

According to the NewsTribune, the Bureau County Board is buying property in Wyanet to house vehicles used by the transportation service. The board will use $125,000 out of their capital projects fund to buy the property.

The county board also passed a resolution approving a grant that provides funding for the transportation service.
