Top Tier Gasoline Because they are worth it. Letter from President & CEO The great Michelangelo once said, “The problem human beings face is not that we aim too high and fail, but that we aim too low and succeed.” Fortunately, the leaders and officials of Southwest Indiana have aimed high in the goals for bettering our community, and in doing so are well on the way to succeeding. This year’s edition of Keep It Local showcases the many ways that our region continues growing through infrastructure upgrades, quality-of-life improvements and an increasing number of entertainment options. By aiming high, local elected officials and business leaders were able to secure millions in funds through the Regional Cities Initiative, and four years in, many projects meant to attract and retain talent to our region are coming to fruition, if not well on their way. Success, indeed. In the pages ahead, we take a look at several projects that are cementing Evansville as a top attraction in the Midwest: the continued progress of The Post House, a unique mixed-use development that will feature smart-technology labs, retail businesses, apartment living and an open outdoor community space; the upcoming groundbreaking for the Deaconess Aquatic Center, which will be the largest indoor swimming facility in the region; an update on the I-69 bridge that will connect Indiana and Kentucky and is expected to bring a huge economic impact; and several new restaurants and bars with a wide diversity of food and drink options, led by Mo’s House and Myriad Brewery.

  • Annual Report Dear Friends and Supporters of Ability Indiana
    2017 Annual Report Dear Friends and Supporters of Ability Indiana, 2017 was the 41st year for Ability Indiana! This year, the Ability Indiana Annual Report will highlight some individual success stories that capture how individuals grow and benefit from the Ability Indiana Program. In addition, Indiana state agencies have continued to partner with Ability Indiana and you will find the letter from the National Guard of Indiana in this year’s report as an example of how this partnership works for all. Ability Indiana is especially proud of AWRC Industries / Post Masters, who this past year won the contract to provide print and mail services across 97 different State agencies, creating many new and well-paying jobs for persons with disabilities. You will find this program highlighted in detail as a part of this year’s annual report. With over 11 million dollars in program sales, Ability Indiana agencies and staff developed a strong set of Program evaluation metrics to gauge the performance of the Ability Indiana Program during 2017. We believe you will find the performance on these Program metrics and standards reflect very well on Ability Indiana in 2017. As we begin a new year, we thank all of our supporters for their numerous contributions that helped make 2017 a successful year for individuals who were able to work as a result of the Ability Indiana Program. We look forward to working collaboratively to enrich the lives of so many people throughout Indiana by creating the opportunity to work in every way possible. Steven C. Cook, President/CEO James M.
