HUD Officials, Businesses Talk About ‘Promise Zone Designation’
NOVEMBER 22ND, 2016
 A little more than five months after the city of Evansville earned a “Promise Zone Designation†from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD officials were back in town for more meetings.
Regional administrator Antonio Riley met with business and community leaders to go over details on the city’s designation, which is guaranteed for 10 years. They went over the next steps for moving the project forward, which riley says involves everyone working together toward the same goal.
Riley says, “It says a lot when you see that collaboration in action right? And then you go and say, now we believe that through this effort, we can bring even more focused, targeted vision to that collaboration, and that stood out for Evansville.â€
Riley also spoke at the Rotary Club of Evansville’s lunch meeting at Tropicana Evansville.
