Welcome to the home of the Wabash River Enhancement Corporation or WREC. Our efforts focus on improving environmental and economic conditions in the Greater Lafayette Region and the Wabash River Corridor in a sustainable manner.
Our current effort focus on two fronts: a master plan for the Wabash River in Tippecanoe County and a watershed management Plan for a portion of the Wabash River. The corridor master plan occurred in two phases: Phase I focuses on the urban corridor of Lafayette/West Lafayette, while Phase II focuses on the rural portions of the river. The watershed management plan for the Wabash River focuses on a 478 square mile drainage from downstream of the river's confluence with Wildcat Creek to upstream of its confluence with Big Pine Creek. Both projects offer many opportunities for you to provide your input and opinions and for you to get involved.
