# Vigo County radio tower network funding

The county's radio-tower payments sit in the LIT (local income tax — a county income tax) Public Safety fund alongside Emergency Management Agency (EMA) costs. The budget committee left that arrangement unresolved on Aug. 24, 2026, and staff said the tower payments, never advertised in a budget line, will need an additional appropriation (spending beyond the adopted budget, which needs its own vote) next year.
