WESTVILLE, Ind. -- A group of public and private sector partners came together recently came together to complete more than $50 million in water and wastewater infrastructure projects is coming together once more, this time in the name of friendly competition.

Construction began today, July 15, on two new lighted pickleball courts at Prairie Meadow Park on US 421 that are being funded by the local group.

“This court is a physical symbol of what it means to build not just infrastructure, but community,” said Michael Albert, President, Westville Town Council,

“Everyone involved in the utility projects cared deeply about Westville, and this donation reflects their shared commitment to giving something lasting back to the town.”

City officials say the project is being entirely donated to the Town of Westville by the same project team members who worked on the water infrastructure upgrades to serve the Westville Correctional Center.

The facility is expected to be completed and ready for a ribbon cutting and public use by the end of August.
