For Tadd Clark, there was no other choice.

Construction on US 231/Bloomington Street in recent months has forced Clark to make the decision to relocate his business, TF Clark Auto Brokers, 705 S. Bloomington St., Greencastle. 

"The road is opened up now, but I had been looking for months. Customers couldn't park here, cars had to cut through the grass. Sales have been down 80 percent since construction started," Clark told The Putnam County Post. 

Clark said there were multiple instances where road paving equipment was left in the driveway of his business, a cone was placed in the driveway making it impossible to tell where the driveway was, and the construction impacted not just his business but others. 

"I got hundreds of messages where people said they were impacted. I am not complaining about the new construction, but I am not sure why they tore it up several times, left it and left equipment in my entrance for days. The biggest frustration was equipment blocking my driveway. I had to constantly ask for it to be moved if we could find someone. People couldn't figure out how to get in at times," Clark said. 

He said he took the issue to the City of Greencastle, and was told there wasn't much the city could do. 

TF Clark Auto Brokers will relocate to Plainfield mid-October Clark said. 

"I am from here, and graduated from North Putnam. It's super frustrating. I just want to thank our customers in Putnam County, and I am sad to leave. We have a lot of friends here and I appreciate their business and hope they will follow us to Plainfield. I think it'll be a good thing," Clark said.
