WELCOME TO BEAUTIFUL ANGOLA, INDIANA

Angola is a beautiful community nestled in the northeast corner of Indiana. We are fast becoming a destination city because of our 101 Lakes, Pokagon State Park, Trine University, a nationally recognized K-12 school system and a hard working, well trained workforce.

We have seen a lot of changes in our community over the last few years and we will be seeing many more in the future. Cameron Memorial Community Hospital is building a new $4.5 million dollar Medical Office Building just east of the current hospital. In the near future we hope to see a new $45 million dollar hospital being built on land just south of the current hospital that will further the health care of our community.

Our downtown has been transformed into an upgraded destination area for our visiting shoppers with the completion last year of phase 1 of our Downtown Revitalization Program. With the help from 2 different grants from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs and a TE grant awarded by the Indiana Department of Transportation we have been able to do over $1 million dollars worth of upgrades to sidewalks around our historic mound with brick pavers, new lighting, new flower boxes and shrubbery along with new tables and chairs sitting outside of businesses for those visiting our downtown to enjoy. This has created new excitement in our downtown with new investment in businesses and more people visiting our area. Downtown businesses have gone together and formed a “GoAngola Alliance” committee that is planning many events for our downtown throughout the whole year.

Trine University keeps growing and adding new curriculum to their program. They are starting an Entrepreneurial Program in their Ketner School of Business along with launching a new Biomet program. Both of these programs are going to be extremely beneficial to the growth of the university as well as the growth of business and industry in the City of Angola and Steuben County.

This summer we will be working on improvements on Mill Street that will help with moving traffic around our city. We will also be starting the second phase of our Downtown Revitalization Program. This phase will extend the construction of new sidewalks and lighting of our downtown area from the mound on west toward Trine University. Most of this construction will take place in 2013.

The City of Angola and Northeast Indiana is growing. Northeast Indiana is one of the fastest growing areas for manufacturing in the State of Indiana. Percentage wise we are growing faster than the national average. We invite you to come and visit us and see for yourself why the City of Angola is the main intersection of the “Cross Roads of America”.

Sincerely,

Richard M. Hickman

Mayor City of Angola
