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.

  • 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and Annual
    Demo The City of Evansville is requesting to align the Art's District and Jacobsville District NRSAs timelines with the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Executive Summary ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction The City of Evansville, Indiana is pleased to submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) its 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. Project goals outlined in the plan were determined through citizens' participation at three public meetings where participants discussed community development and housing needs, including the completion of a survey. Due to COVID-19 and the suspension of public contact the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan was displayed on the City of Evansville website. The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) prepared by Prosperity Indiana provided a summary of the existing fair housing condition in Evansville, with five-year remediation goals. A marketing plan of the public service area, Evansville, prepared by Bowens National Research provided housing data on the existing PSA and five submarkets; Central Area, Near East, East, North, and West, including three submarkets of the Central Area; Arts District, Downtown District, and Jacobsville District. Through the use of these tools Evansville will be able to carry out reasonable community and housing goals with positive outcomes. Evansville Indiana, established in 1812, today is the third-largest city in the state of Indiana with an estimated population of 117,429. Situated along the scenic Ohio River, Evansville is centrally located providing highway access to and from major cities; Indianapolis, Indiana is 170 miles north via Interstate 69, Louisville, Kentucky is 120 miles east via Interstate 64, St.

  • The Art Collection at Sunset Funeral Home & Memorial
    Fishing Under the Ohio Street Bridge Signed, limited edition canvas Giclée by Cedric Hustace the art collection at Sunset funeral home & memorial park Sunset Memorial Park has been a proud member of the Evansville community since 1948. The 2008 addition of Sunset Funeral Home, the only funeral home in the Tri-State area located in a cemetery, means unprecedented convenience and savings for the families we serve. Located at the highest point in Evansville, Sunset Funeral Home is truly an inspirational setting with breathtaking views over- looking the surrounding countryside. When it came time to select the artwork, we wanted our walls to tell a story to capture the flavor of the Evansville area and we embarked on a journey to find artwork depicting the area’s history. On that journey, we discovered that the city is filled with talented local artists. In fact, Evansville is listed #2 in an article titled “10 Great Towns for Working Artists” in the February 2008 issue of Art Calendar, a national trade magazine for visual artists. Making the final selections was extremely difficult as we found so many categories and artists we liked. Sunset Funeral Home is delight- ed to present to you our choices reflecting the area’s rich history and heritage for our permanent collection. We hope you like what we’ve chosen as you walk through the funeral home. Each piece includes a vignette describing the art and informa- tion on the artist. This program, which provides the same informa- tion, is yours to keep. If only the walls could talk—we think ours do and they tell a wonderful story of the talented artists in our area and their view of our little piece of this world.

SEELEY ^6 ^iozi yi%^,^5 Copyright 1920 by ABE P. MADISON SEP -I 1^20 ©Ci.A576347 TO THE REVERENT MEMORY OF THE GOLD STARS Preface Now that the war has been over for more than a yea)- and a half, com- munities as well as individuals are asked, "What have you done to help?" The fi^htinj? has been over lonj? enouj^h for the recorder of its events to obtain historical perspective and authenticity, but the events of the war are still indelibly impressed on the minds of all so as to prive an accurate and vivid account of this soul stirring period of American history. The title of the book, "Sons of Men," has special reference to the first chapter of this book, "The Gold Stars." The time and painstaking work devoted to this chapter were out of all proportion to any similar quantity of material in the volume. With few exceptions every Gold Star family was interviewed. The material was obtained from the parents, often the mother, and included not only biographical data that the parents could give, but also Government reports, telegrams, personal letters from eyewitnesses such as officers, comrades. Red Cross nur.ses and chaplains. In some cases the material was very ^cant and limited, and this fact will explain the dif- ferent lengths and variety of detail of the biographies. So many of Evansville's Gold Stars who were in active service abroad belonged to the Thirtieth Division (Old Hickory) that the experiences of the Lucky Five are a history of the military career of more than five plucky Evansville soldiers.
