Pictured: Baret Family Selfie, Self.e Alley, Downtown Evansville. Photo: Alex Morgan Imaging CountryMark Top Tier Gasoline BecauseCountryMark they are worth it. 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.

  • 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.

  • Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
    Evansville – Vanderburgh County, Indiana Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Prepared by AMEC Environment and Infrastructure Hazard Mitigation and Emergency Management Program Nashville, Tennessee DRAFT Vanderburgh County, Indiana Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan DRAFT Prepared by AMEC Environment & Infrastructure Hazard Mitigation and Emergency Management Program Nashville, Tennessee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of natural hazards mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards. Vanderburgh County and participating jurisdictions have prepared this update to the local hazard mitigation plan to better protect the people and property of the County from the effects of natural hazard events. The plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and to achieve eligibility for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs. The Vanderburgh County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is a multi-jurisdictional plan that covers the following local governments that participated in the planning process: Vanderburgh County City of Evansville Town of Darmstadt Evansville-Vanderburgh County School Corporation The County’s planning process for the update followed a methodology prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) comprised of key stakeholders from Vanderburgh County, participating jurisdictions, and state and federal agencies. The HMPC conducted a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to Vanderburgh County, assessed the County’s vulnerability to these hazards, and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The County is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Floods, earthquakes, and severe weather are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the County.
