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.

  • Corporate Annual Report Letter, I Introduced Our Three-Year (2020-22) Organizational Strategy: the ONB Way
    WITH PROXY STATEMENT AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OLD NATIONAL BANCORP OLD NATIONAL BANCORP Dear Old National Owners, As 2020 began, Old National was well-positioned to benefit from positive economic conditions and an overall climate of growth and optimism throughout the Midwest region we call home. At the time, our team members were busy doing what has made your company successful since 1834: exceeding the expectations of our clients while also working to strengthen our communities. Obviously, the pandemic required some changes to this dynamic. But what didn’t change throughout 2020 is our commitment to being a regional bank with the heart of a community bank. In fact, this commitment was stronger than ever as our team members came together Jim Ryan to serve as an essential partner and stabilizing force for families and businesses throughout Chairman & our footprint. Week after week, your company helped thousands of organizations and Chief Executive Officer individuals not only survive but thrive. As a result, Old National found a way to flourish despite very trying conditions. One of the primary drivers of this success was the implementation, in late 2019 and early 2020, of the ONB Way. This comprehensive corporate strategy (which is detailed later in this letter) positioned your company to excel in a climate that, frankly, left some of our peers struggling to gain their footing. The ONB Way also has placed us in an enviable position as we look toward the future. Yet even the strongest strategic plan is only as good as the people entrusted to execute it.
