For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.  – Philippians 2:13

We the People of Kokomo desire to honor God and fulfill His purpose by taking care of the blessings He has provided for us.  This includes our environment, our community and our nation.  We are here to listen, learn, inform and mobilize our community to make it the most prosperous and healthy it can be.  

There are actually three:
1. To become aware of current legislative bills which affect our community health and safety.
2. To get the word out to others and speak up as “the public” at board and council meetings.
3. To encourage new people to run for office locally so we can get fresh ideas in the system.

Yes! Not only within Indiana (like the Lafayette WTP group) but across the nation. Check out the Links icon on the left side menu for Like-Minded Organizations.

Lithium-ion batteries are used in many common devices including laptops and electric vehicles. They are generally not considered dangerous if their protection circuitry is connected and all is working properly. Still, problems can occur. Improper handling or a defect in manufacture can result in an extremely hot fire which is difficult to extinguish. In these cases most fire fighters are trained to let it burn itself out, while toxic gases may escape to neighboring areas. The chemicals and materials used inside these batteries are very corrosive and harmful to humans.

StarPlus Energy is a collaboration interest formed by two companies: Samsung (South Korea battery manufacturer) and Stellantis (US auto maker, formerly known as Chrysler). StarPlus makes lithium-ion batteries for use in Electric Vehicles. The first plant in Kokomo opened in December 2024 and is supported by many new local suppliers such as Soulbrain (battery enclosures), Jaewon (electrolyte manufacturer and recycler), Sang America (electrical contacts), and others. Up to 1400 will be employed at StarPlus.
