EXPLORE EVANSVILLE TO CONDUCT FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR NEW CROSS-COUNTRY COURSE

0

Evansville, IN – October 14, 2024 – Explore Evansville has announced plans to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to explore the development of a new cross-country course in the region.  This initiative is in response to growing interest in outdoor sports and recreation and the need for a premier course, as the current host site, Angel Mounds, will no longer be available for this sporting event after 2025.

The study will evaluate potential locations, course designs, and the economic benefits a new cross-country facility could bring to the community.  It will also explore opportunities to expand adventure tourism in the area, while considering how future developments could integrate with existing trail networks.  The aim is to create an amenity that not only attracts visitors for events but also provides lasting value for residents.

“Evansville has a strong history of hosting cross-country events, and we are committed to ensuring that tradition continues,” said Alexis Berggren, President & CEO of Explore Evansville.  “A dedicated course would help strengthen our city as a regional leader in sports tourism, attracting new competitions, visitors, and economic opportunities.  At the same time, we want to ensure it benefits the local community and ties into our broader outdoor recreation offerings.”

The feasibility study, which is being led by American Structurepoint, will also involve Legacy Sports Group as part of the project team, providing their expertise as an athletic facility planning consultant.  Input from key stakeholders, including local cross-country experts, recreational enthusiasts, and sports event organizers, will also be integral to the study.  Public engagement will play a crucial role in ensuring the course meets the needs of both athletes and the wider community.

With the support of community partners, Explore Evansville is optimistic that the study will identify opportunities to develop a world-class cross-country course while also boosting tourism and enhancing connectivity with existing trail systems.

Lt. Governor’s Excellence in Affordable Housing Award: Urban/Large City

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 Hoosier Woods, winning the award in the Urban/Large City Category!  The Urban Housing Category recognizes a property located within a metropolitan area with a population greater than 15,000.

Hoosier Woods Apartments was originally a two-phase partially affordable apartment complex developed in 2003 and 2005. Coming to market in 2021, the development was on the verge of increased rents and the loss of vital affordable housing in the Anderson area. TWG Development, LLCapplied for an allocation for 4% tax credits, combining both phases into one. A full rehab of 214 units was completed, offering an immediate opportunity to improve affordable housing for local families.

Hoosier Woods is located next to the Indiana State Road 9 Corridor, which offers a variety of amenities including retail shopping, restaurants and a grocery store.

USI Bachelor of Professional Studies adds new concentration

0

The University of Southern Indiana Bachelor of Professional Studies (BPS) Program has added a new concentration in World Languages and Cultures now available to students. The concentration is offered through USI’s College of Liberal Arts.

The BPS Program provides the ability for both traditional students and adult learners to tailor an online degree program to their specific academic and career goals.

The program affords adult learners, who work full-time, the ability to complete a reputable and meaningful program of study as they progress in their current career or transition to a new occupation.

Before students begin, BPS advisors analyze previous college credits, professional training, military service and other educational experience and help students devise a personalized degree plan that best fits their career goals.

Over the last few years, the BPS has received inquiries from current and prospective students regarding coursework in the languages, specifically teaching English as a second language (TESOL). The development of the World Languages and Cultures concentration in applied studies is the result of the program being responsive to the academic needs and interests of current and potential USI students.

“The development of a World Languages and Culture (APST-WLC) concentration allows applied studies majors to develop their skills in the area of second language acquisition,” says Dr. Wes Durham, Director of the Bachelor of Professional Studies Program. “In line with our other areas of concentration, APST-WLC is a practical and pragmatic course of study that leads to potential career opportunities for its graduates.”
