Lynn served New Haven as its Mayor from 1988-1999. Lynn was also a barber as well as the Adams Township Justice of the Peace and then the Adams Township Trustee right before he became New Haven\u2019s Mayor.<\/p>\n<p>Lynn was instrumental in the storage of the Gronauer Lock, the historical timbers that were discovered during the construction of I-469.<\/p>\n<p>He was deeply engaged in building the new Fire Station in 1990 after the merging of the New Haven and Adams Township Fire Department Station.  This was the first merger of departments in the State of Indiana at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Lynn will always be remembered for his advocacy for the New Haven community regarding the court proceedings over the operation of a hazardous waste facility just outside the New Haven city limits; and he will be remembered for the construction of the current City Hall building that opened in July of 1999. <\/p>\n<p>Arrangements will be shared once they are made available.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20210204\/233740.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"New Haven Mayor Steven McMichael at the news conference announcing opposition to Mayor Tom Henry&#039;s proposed Allen County Supplemental Food and Beverage Tax increase.
