In the Spotlight


State Street

State Street revitalization would create a campus 'Main Street,' planners say

Imagine a State Street that is as inviting to pedestrians and bicyclists as it is to vehicles -- in short, imagine a corridor that serves as the heart of the West Lafayette campus. Purdue, the Purdue Research Foundation and the City of West Lafayette are working on a plan to revitalize State Street into just that. Drastic changes are still a long way off, but planners are seeking input from the community about how to make this dream a reality. Public meetings are set for Feb. 12.
