Lt. Governor’s Excellence in Affordable Housing Award: Rural

0

 

At the annual Indiana Housing Conference this fall, IHCDA and Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch presented the Excellence in Affordable Housing Awards recognizing four outstanding affordable housing developments which were funded in part with Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Awards and placed in service between July 1, 2023 and July 1, 2024.

Congratulations to Claire Gardens, winning the award in the Rural Category! The Rural Category recognizes a property located within the corporate limits of a city or town with a population of less than 15,000, or located in an unincorporated area of a county that is located beyond two miles of the municipality’s jurisdiction.

Claire Gardens, developed by Keller Development, made use of a vacant and deteriorating former car dealership in the City of LaGrange. The town agreed it was an ideal location for senior housing with its proximity to downtown amenities such as groceries, services and employment opportunities.

Residents at Claire Gardens benefit from partnerships that will extend services to the development. Brightpoint will provide financial literacy training, benefits enrollment, utility assistance and healthcare navigation. The LaGrange County Council on Aging will provide transportation for point-to-point access to other service providers in the county. New Generation Management, Inc. will train a tenant investment coordinator dedicated to Claire Gardens residents and provide computer and technology training, establish a residents’ council and facilitate an array of other providers to meet the changing needs of residents over time.

Ports Of Indiana, Indiana State Department Of Agriculture Sign MOU To Increase Collaboration

0

INDIANAPOLIS (Oct. 120 2024) — Ports of Indiana and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to increase collaboration, expand agricultural trade and create new container shipping opportunities for Indiana.

The primary purpose of the MOU is to establish a framework for enhanced collaboration, to promote increased agricultural trade and fostering economic development for Indiana. The MOU outlines an agreement for the organizations to partner in the following ways:

Encourage and support the expansion of agricultural exports through the state’s port facilities.

Investigate opportunities to develop new container shipping facilities that serve critical needs in the agriculture and hardwood industries.

Connect key agricultural stakeholders with Indiana’s ports to explore new shipping opportunities and convene critical stakeholder forums.

Research container export opportunities related to ISDA’s key priorities.

“ISDA has helped position Indiana agriculture as a global leader in innovation and commercialization for food and fuel production, and our ports play a critical role in connecting our ag industry with world markets,” said Jody Peacock, CEO for the Ports of Indiana. “Our organizations and our industries are inextricably linked, and we have several shared objectives and opportunities for collaboration that can create future growth for our state and our agricultural communities.”

Earlier this year, the two organizations partnered with the Indiana Soybean Alliance and Indiana Corn Marketing Council to conduct a trade mission to Indonesia and to host the first-ever Indiana Container Shipping Conference. Governor Eric Holcomb kicked off the conference as business, agriculture and transportation leaders discussed ways to develop new container ports, grow agriculture exports and expand global trade to support Indiana’s economic growth. In July, Ports of Indiana received federal approval to establish Indiana’s first international sea cargo container terminal on Lake Michigan and signed an MOU with the Port of Antwerp-Bruges to explore new agriculture and container shipping opportunities.

Agriculture contributes more than $35 billion annually to the Hoosier economy, making Indiana the ninth largest agriculture state. Indiana ranks 13th in the nation for waterborne shipping, generating $29.9 billion in annual economic impact. Ports of Indiana handles more than 4 million tons of agriculture products at its three ports on the Ohio River and Lake Michigan, and those cargoes make up more than a third of the total shipments.

The Purple Aces finished sixth and 11th overall
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Sophomore runner Rafael Rodriguez (Sergovia, Spain) cracked the Top 5 program times for the UE cross country teams at the Angel Mounds Invitational on Friday morning.
In the final regular season meet of the year, Rodriguez earned the fourth-best time in program history for a men’s 8K race at 24:43 for a sixth-place overall finish. Rodriguez’s time helped propel the Purple Aces men’s team to sixth place out of 16 teams improving four sports from 2023. On the women’s team sophomore Avery Stephens (Newburg, Ind. / Castle HS) led the team with a personal best of 23:25.4 in the women’s 6K for an 11th-place finish out of 16 teams.
“The credit today belongs to these two teams who have stuck together through so many changes and endured many trials and errors,” said Head Coach Dylan Anderson following the meet. “A huge shout-out goes to seniors Adam Oulgout and Hannah Bryan for writing an incredible final chapter at Angel Mounds.
“We have driven all of our themes in practice towards an appreciation of running and appreciating each other as a team. It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves in the pursuit of success, but we’ve done a great job of staying grounded and seeing the big picture. We are officially in the postseason now and I’m excited to see what this team has left in the tank!”
In the day’s first race, five runners from UE’s men’s team finished in the top 40 out of over 200 attached runners. Behind Rodriguez was senior Adam Oulgout (St. Paul, Minn. / Central HS) with an 8K personal best time of 25:16.7 for 25th. Also in the Top 30 for Evansville was sophomore Woody Burrell (Cedarburg, Wis. / Cedarburg HS) with a time of 25:22.8 at 30th. Right behind Burrell was sophomore Cedrik Flipo (Beloeil, Quebec) at 32nd with a time of 25:25.4.
The Aces’ other scoring times on the men’s side came from sophomore Samuel Lea (Worchester, England), who ran 25:37.9, sophomore Tommaso Losma (Lombardia, Italy), who ran 25:55.3, and Kadin McAllister (Lilburn, Ga. / Parkview HS), who ran 26:53.1. Overall, the UE men had 13 runners on Friday, and 10 of those runners set personal bests.
During the women’s 6K Stephens led Evansville followed by sophomore Kyndall Anthis (Pakota, Ind. / Princeton Community HS) with a time of 24:08. Also scoring for the Aces on the women’s side was senior Hannah Bryan (Evansville, Ind. / Reitz HS) with a personal best of 24:55.9, freshman Lauren Bradley (Russiaville, Ind. / Western HS ) with a PR of 25:05.4, sophomore Chase Hayes (Noblesville, Ind. / Western HS) with a time of 25:40.8, freshman Skyler Dickenson (Brownsburg, Ind. / Brownsburg HS) with a PR of 26:15.4 and freshman Megan Allgeier (Batesville, Ind. / Batesville HS) with a time of 26:37.1. The UE women had eight runners on Friday with five new personal bests.

The Purple Aces will play their first match at the NIU Soccer and Track & Field Complex
 
DEKALB, ILL. — The University of Evansville men’s soccer team returns to Missouri Valley Conference action on the road over the weekend.

The Purple Aces tied the Louisville Cardinals for the first time in program history on Wednesday night. The 2-2 draw with the Cardinals was also UE’s first point away in the series since a 2-0 win in 1991. Evansville was the only team to lead on Wednesday night through 90 minutes of action. The Aces held the game lead for 32 minutes while the match was tied for 56 minutes.

Northern Illinois is still looking for its first win of conference play with four matches left in 2024. The Huskies only have two wins on the season with victories over Mercyhust and Chicago State. Junior midfielder Jose Gomez is NIU’s offensive leader with eight points from two goals and four assists in 12 games played. The Huskies leader in goals though is senior forward Kevin Kelly with three goals through 12 games. Overall Northern Illinois has nine different goal scorers in 12 games.

Two UE players scored their second goals of the season in Louisville. Redshirt freshman midfielder Jacopo Fedrizzi (Giulia, Italy) 2nd goal came in the 45th minute while fifth year forward Kai Phillip’s (Diego Martin, Trinidad & Tobago) 2nd goal came in the 63rd minute. Evansville now has six players with multiple goals through 13 matches.

Saturday’s match will be the Aces first at Northern Illinois in program history. UE and NIU have only played three games over the past 10 years with all three matches occurring at Arad McCutchan Stadium. This is only the second match where the two teams will meet as conference foes.
