Ask The Mayor: Crawfordsville's Todd Barton On Ramping Back Up On COVID Preparation

WBAA

This week on WBAA’s Ask The Mayor: Montgomery County headed into the red this week on Indiana’s COVID-19 metrics map, as statewide daily case counts continue to rise to levels not seen since the start of the year. Local school systems are shifting to remote learning as more and more students test positive for COVID, and reopening plans are being adjusted to allow for mask requirements. What comes next as local officials try to stop a possible surge?

In our talk with Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton, we’ll discuss how the city plans to handle its housing shortage with the help of a consultant. And we’ll hear from a listener who wants to know how Crawfordsville plans to help vulnerable residents who experience housing insecurity.

Plus, Crawfordsville’s paramedicine program receives a big funding boost to help with drug overdoses.
