White and Dubois Counties to petition for Central Time
Commissioners in White & Dubois Counties voted to petition to move to the Central Time Zone.
Update Looks like Knox County is also going to petition for central time.
Update #2 St. Joseph County just made it official. Commissioners Ross and Bodle voted for Central while Commissioner Dobson voted for Eastern.
Ross said he has heard manufacturers favor Eastern time, and distributors ask for Central time, but the local economy is changing.
“The nature of St. Joseph County over the years has been changing over the years to less manufacturing to us being a distribution center for the whole Midwest,” Ross said.
Ross said that citizens he represents also favor Central time and that weighs heavily with him.
Update #3 The map has been updated.
