WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Local opposition to Indiana's Economic Development Corp.'s LEAP project seems about as strong as some leaders' hopelessness that anything can be done to stop it. The LEAP project would possibly pull up to 100 million gallons of water a day from Tippecanoe County and pipe it to Boone County in Indiana. That didn't stop the West Lafayette City Council Monday from passing a resolution opposing the tapping of area resources to supply water to Lebanon, Ind., for the development of an economic district in Boone County some 40 miles away.
