Gordon Road is scheduled for water main maintenance/rework beginning next week (September 25th). Please expect possible lane closures during this time period.
The Monticello Street Department will be milling many of the alleys in the city on August 7 & 8, followed by two layers of chip/seal. In preparation for the large machinery required to do this project, the Street Department will be trimming all trees and shrubs that are in the right of way, so the machines can get through.
The City of Monticello Street Dept. will begin spraying for mosquitos on Tuesday July 25, 2023 weather permitting, if weather will not allow us to spray that evening, then spraying will be moved to the next evening. The Street Dept. will spray the City limits once a week as weather allows for the next several weeks. Spraying will be done during the evening hours. The spray trucks will spray the alleys where available and the streets where there is no alley. If you do not want the area by your home sprayed please call the Monticello Street Dept. at (574) 583- 7033.
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has stated due to the traffic problems caused by the NIPSCo gas line relocation at Gordon Rd., Airport Rd., and US-421, the decision has been made to close Gordon and Airport Roads at that intersection.
- Gordon and Airport Rd. Intersection will be closed.
- Affected residents south of the intersection may use new County Rd. 225 S to enter/exit the area.
- The traffic lights will be bagged and South Main/US-421 will be free flowing traffic with some lane restrictions as work progresses.
We do not have an exact day when this will happen, within the next two weeks, and could last as long as 2 months.

NEW! Indiana Capital Chronicle news article (June 2, 2023)
Read the Program Opening Press Release (February 23, 2022)
The City of Monticello and the Monticello Fire Department are excited to announce the creation of the Mobile Integrated Healthcare Program also known as the Community Paramedicine Program.
The Mobile Integrated Healthcare Program fills the gaps that are prevalent in healthcare, especially in more rural and aging communities. It works to meet the quadruple aim for healthcare which includes:
In 2021, The Monticello Fire Department and Indiana University Health White Memorial Hospital collaborated on the Community Paramedicine Program pilot project. During the 6-month pilot program Monticello Fire Department saw 50 patients and had a 100% non-readmittance rate.
After the program’s success the West Central Region of IU Health agreed to provide first year funding to establish and sustain this program until further funding can be achieved. The commitment by our local IU Health White Memorial Hospital team under the guidance of President Mary Minier and Chief Nursing Officer Renea Smith connected our Community Paramedic Team, FF/Paramedic Chad Walther, and FF/Paramedic Nick Green with the families and individuals that would benefit most from this program.
The Mobile Integrated Healthcare program also received financial support from the Indiana State Department of Health and IU Health White Memorial Hospital. Our Community Paramedic(s) will be working with other funding agencies and grantors to provide necessary support moving forward.
This partnership provides our community with another resource to improve overall community health.
