TEMA could have new space for equipment LAFAYETTE, IN (wbaa) - The Tippecanoe Emergency Management Agency could soon be leasing some storage space at a centralized location north of Lafayette.

Currently nearly $3 million worth of equipment is stored at several locations around the county, much of it uncovered.

Commissioner Dave Byers says a five-acre site on Swisher Road provides two buildings and some office space.

He says the two-year lease would be at a cost of roughly $81,000 annually.

Byers says the county would have the option to purchase the facility after the two-year lease is up.

The agreement must still be approved by the County Council and then go to a public hearing before Commissioners take a final vote.
