Aces welcome Northern Iowa to Cooper Stadium

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Another big weekend is on the docket for the University of Evansville softball team when the Purple Aces welcome preseason Missouri Valley Conference favorite Northern Iowa to Cooper Stadium.  Saturday opens with a 12 p.m. doubleheader before Sunday’s finale will get underway with a noon start time.

 Last Time Out

– For the first time since 2010, the Aces defeated Drake in a home series, taking two out of three games against the Bulldogs to open league play

– After falling by a 10-1 final in Saturdays series opener, UE stormed back with a 5-3 win to begin Sundays doubleheader before recording a 12-3 win in six innings to seal the series win

– Sydney Weatherford started Sundays opener and after allowing two runs in the first inning, she allowed just one more over the remainder of the contest to help the Aces even the weekend series

– Jenna Lis hit a 2-run homer while Alexa Davis added a solo shot in the game…Mackenzie McFeron had the game-winning hit, plating Haley Woolf on a triple in the 6th

– Evansville led game two by a 6-0 score following three innings before a 5-run 6th clinched the 12-3 win with McFeron coming through in the clutch once again, hitting a walk-off bases-clearing double

What a Day

– Senior Mackenzie McFeron currently has nine RBI in her UE career…four of those came in Sundays doubleheader sweep over Drake

– In game one, her triple in the sixth inning proved to be the game-winner in a 5-3 UE win that evened the weekend series

– McFeron did even better in the finale, belting a base-clearing walk-off double to seal a 12-3 victory and a series win

– She carries a career-best 4-game hit streak into the UNI series

Heating Up

– Jessica Fehr continues to swing a hot bat, adding three hits in six at-bats to help the Aces sweep Sundays doubleheader versus Drake

– Picking up a hit in 11 of her last 13 games, Fehr leads UE and ranks 8th in the MVC with a .355 average

– She is the MVC leader with 14 walks while ranking fourth with 18 runs scored – over the last 15 games, she has scored 13 runs

– After starting the season with two hits in 17 at-bats, Fehr has recorded 25 hits in her last 59 AB’s while batting .424 over that span

Dual Threat

– Freshman Sydney Weatherford is off to an impressive start to her college career, ranking second in the MVC with 19 RBI while sitting third with her season ERA of 2.11

– Weatherford is on a roll in the circle, tossing three complete games in a row while allowing just five earned runs over her last 21 innings

– Despite a 3-for-23 skid at the plate, Weatherford is batting .258 while tying for the Valley lead with four triples along with her 19 RBI, which ranks second

Turning Point?

– Jenna Lis approached the plate in the March 20 doubleheader opener against Drake stuck in a 1-for-21 slump at the plate while her team trailed the Bulldogs by a 1-0 margin the weekend series and a 2-0 score in the game

– What may have been a turning point in the season for Lis and her team, she connected on a 2-run home run, her first of the season, to tie the game with the Aces taking both ends of the doubleheader

– She added a 2-for-4 effort with a run and RBI in game two

Lt. Gov. Crouch Announces $90M In Multifamily Bonds, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits To Five Developments.

Multifamily Bonds were awarded to create and preserve affordable units that will serve individuals and families across Indiana in Greenfield, New Whiteland, Kendallville, New Albany, and Indianapolis.  

INDIANAPOLIS (March 24, 2022) – Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Board of Directors for the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) today announced five developments that have received awards from the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, in conjunction with Multifamily Tax-Exempt Bonds. This funding is used to incentivize private developers to fund the construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of affordable housing communities throughout Indiana.

“These awards are major investments in Indiana’s infrastructure,” Crouch said. “These five properties will greatly benefit their communities and the Hoosiers who live there. Preservation and creation of affordable housing is critical to ensuring long-term affordability that allows residents to thrive in neighborhoods and to maintain consistency in their neighbors, schools, jobs and healthcare.”

These investments represent a variety of housing types including new construction, preservation of existing housing, family housing, and affordable assisted living for seniors. Below is a breakdown of the awards:

  • Vita of Greenfield, developed by Vita Investment Holdings, LLC, will receive $21M in multifamily bonds and $799,296 in tax credits annually for 10 years for the construction of 110 rental units for seniors of mixed-income.  In addition to helping to meet the need for affordable senior housing, this investment will provide a continuum of care by offering assisted living services for those who need assistance with activities of daily living.
  • Vita of New Whiteland, developed by Vita Investment Holdings, LLC, will receive $21M in multifamily bonds and $864,236 in tax credits annually for 10 years for new construction of mixed-income housing that will offer assisted living services for seniors ages 62 and older. These services will include assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, personal hygiene, ambulating, meals, shopping, medication delivery and reminders, transportation, housekeeping and laundry.
  • Barrington Village will receive $30M in multifamily bonds and $1.5M in tax credits annually for 10 years to preserve and rehabilitate 172 units of affordable housing. Millennia Housing Development, Ltd. is acquiring and rehabilitating Stonekey Apartments on the southeast side of Indianapolis. The renovation of the property will afford significant upgrades to each unit. Community upgrades include a picnic pavilion and community building where residents will have access to services such as a resident liaison, resident activities programming and neighborhood watch.
  • Carriage House of Kendallville will receive $9M in multifamily bonds and $565,183 in tax credits annually for 10 years to preserve 150 units of affordable housing. The Gene B. Glick Company project consists of 1-bedroom garden-style units and 2- and 3-bedroom townhome-style units throughout 18 buildings. The scope of rehabilitation includes replacement of siding, windows and roofs; replacement of HVAC systems; replacement and upgrades to cabinets, appliances and plumbing and bathroom fixtures.
  • Beechwood Court will receive $8.7M in multifamily bonds and $876,204 in tax credits annually for 10 years to create 83 units of affordable housing in New Albany. Southern Indiana Community Housing Corp. will build on the vacant land of an existing public housing site that will be demolished to make way for the redevelopment. The development will feature a mix of single-family detached homes, duplexes, single-family/duplex combos and one three-story multifamily unit. This neighborhood-campus-style development will also be home to a fully accessible park, picnic shelters, commercial-grade playground and accessible community garden.

IHCDA receives applications for Housing Tax Credits and Multifamily Bonds under the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP). The QAP, which is unique to each authoring state, details selection criteria and application requirements for the LIHTC program, Multifamily Bonds, HOME funds, Development Fund and the National Housing Trust Fund in conjunction with tax credits. It also contains all deadlines, application fees, restrictions, standards and requirements.

“IHCDA is committed to providing affordable housing for the residents of Indiana,” said Jacob Sipe, Executive Director of IHCDA. “These tax credits for the development of housing provide safe, affordable options for Hoosiers and their families and will also create an economic activity for these communities.”

The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) administers and manages the federal tax credits which provide incentives for the creation and preservation of affordable housing units in Indiana.
