Town Of Knightstown

Town of Knightstown, doing business as Knightstown Utilities, is a U.S. local government entity registered to receive federal awards since May 2013. As a municipality and council of governments, it serves the community of Knightstown, Indiana, providing essential public services and infrastructure. Through federal grant sub-awards, the town has demonstrated a commitment to improving community facilities, public safety, and law enforcement capabilities.

The town has received several significant federal grant sub-awards in recent years. One notable project involves a $500,000 grant for the Knightstown Public Library renovation, which includes constructing an ADA-accessible entryway with an elevator, upgrading mechanical systems for improved energy efficiency, and rehabilitating the exterior. This award was made through the Lieutenant Governor's office. Additionally, Knightstown has secured funding for its police department through the Judiciary Courts of the State of Indiana. These grants have supported the acquisition of essential law enforcement equipment, including two-way radios, license plate readers, body cameras, less-lethal weapons (Bola Wraps and Tasers), ballistic vests, and a fully equipped 2022 Dodge Durango police vehicle. Another grant focused on technological upgrades, providing funds for Panasonic Toughbooks, in-car video systems, radar guns, and portable breath test devices. These investments aim to enhance officer and citizen safety, increase transparency, and improve the department's ability to combat crime effectively.
