A challenge for Piatt County authorities in recent years has been communication coverage from top to bottom of the County.

That problem continues its correction as Sheriff Mark Vogelzang calls it a big project that continues on with an eye towards having everything done by this summer. 

The Sheriff reminds they have had communication troubles in various parts of Piatt County because of its size. He says this upgrade will allow them better coverage from top to bottom.

The Department of Justice provided a grant that has helped them cover the roughly $650,000 and it has taken over two years to get to where they are at.
