Good news, bad news. The good news is the Indiana Ave. project in front of the LPCPL Exchange is moving right along. The bad news is it has moved to the sidewalk in front of the Exchange.

Don't worry -- we're still open! Currently, the best way to access the building's front door is from the North/Jefferson Ave. side. If have any questions or need help accessing the building, please call the Exchange at 219-344-5895.
