Appropriated 2023 · ground broken 19 October 2023
To support the lodge's construction, $100 million was appropriated in the state budget — the State of Indiana's own words at the groundbreaking. The gift, stated with its class kept straight: donor, the State of Indiana, by appropriation of the General Assembly in the 2023 budget; recipient, the Lodge at Potato Creek project of the Department of Natural Resources, operated through the Indiana Inns Authority; amount, $100 million; purpose, construction of a 120-room lodge with dining, conference and aquatic facilities on the south shore of Worster Lake in Liberty Township; restrictions, those of an appropriation — the money builds the lodge or it does not move. It is a public appropriation, not a private donation, and this section prints it first because the checklist's rule is size, and by size nothing else on this ground is within two orders of magnitude of it. It also belongs, in strictness, to the township and the state park — the boundary the whole bundle keeps — and it is claimed here at that boundary size, as the largest gift to a North Liberty-named place.
