The developer is preparing an $18 million project at the Hulman Building

By Jay Young

CITY-COUNTY OBSERVER

SEPTEMBER 12,2024

A developer is preparing an $18 million project at the Hulman Building that will transform the structure into a mixed-use property.

The Evansville Regional Economic Partnership is asking the state to provide $4 million from the Lilly Endowment Grant for the project. The developer told E-REP his company has the property under contract and expects to start and complete construction in 2025. The 10-story building is located at Fourth and Sycamore streets in Downtown. 

Texas-based Global Integrity Investments has the property under contract, company president Toby Potter said Wednesday. His company is nearing completion of a residential rehabilitation project at the nearby former Market Street Living building at Court and Third Streets.

The Southwest Indiana Regional Development Authority agreed Wednesday to forward the Hulman request and others to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation for final consideration. The authority is a public agency that hires E-REP, a private corporation, to conduct its business. 

The authority also approved these projects for Lilly Endowment funding consideration:

  • Franklin Street Lofts – $1.3 million

Franklin St. Lofts LLC., managed by John E. Clark of Newburgh, is planning a $13 million project at the corner of West Franklin Street and North Seventh Avenue to transform a vacant structure into 58 multi-family, market-rate units. It will include commercial space for a restaurant or retail. The investor told E-REP construction will start on Jan. 1 and conclude in 2026. 

  • Fieldhouse Flats – $4.9 million

An entity controlled by Jonathan R. Anderson of Franklin, AP Development LLC, plans a $24 million housing development at the former YMCA site between Vine and Court Streets. The rehabilitation of the former Central High and YMCA Fieldhouse will create 38 market-rate apartments. The construction of a neighboring building will have 40 market-rate apartments. The connected Central Lofts by the same developer created 61 market-rate apartments in 2020-21. The year-long project is expected to start June 1.

The authority approved these projects for consideration as recommended by E-REP for state money through the READI 2.0 program.

  • The Hub 127 – $122,000

The Gibson County Economic Development Corp. plans a $610,000 renovation on the second floor of the second floor of this co-working pace at 127 N. Hart St. in Princeton.

  • The District Phase 2: $3 million

JWK Management Group of Evansville proposed a $14.6 million project to add 110 apartments to the existing 144 apartments in Princeton. Construction is scheduled to start this fall and end summer 2025.

Laws protect Jewish individuals from antisemitic harassment on campuses, Attorney General Todd Rokita states in advisory opinion

Laws protect Jewish individuals from antisemitic harassment on campuses, Attorney General Todd Rokita states in advisory opinion

At a time of unprecedented antisemitism across the United States, Attorney General Todd Rokita makes clear in an advisory opinion that laws protect Jewish individuals from many forms of antisemitic harassment in educational settings. 

In the three months following the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel, the Anti-Defamation League recorded 3,291 antisemitic incidents across the United States — a level unprecedented during any previous three-month period over the last decade and a 361 percent increase compared to the same period the previous year. On university campuses in particular, antisemitic incidents have recently increased again as colleges resume classes for the fall semester. 

“Antisemitism is an evil that spreads beyond the confines of college campuses into the fabric of general society,” Attorney General Rokita said. “We must deal with this ugliness wherever it arises.” 

Attorney General Rokita issued the advisory opinion in response to inquiries from Rep. Craig Haggard, R-Mooresville. 

“Before we can take additional steps to protect our Jewish students and all Hoosiers,” Rep. Haggard said, “it is vitally important to start with the facts. I want to thank the Attorney General for his opinion and support of the Jewish community.” 

Although often veiled in the guise of support for Palestinian innocents, the words and actions directed against Jewish people have all too often crossed the line from legitimate expressions of opinion into something far more sinister — harassment, threats and intimidation that endanger Jewish people’s safety and in fact violate the law.  

“The Indiana Code and various federal civil rights laws prohibit discriminatory conduct based on one’s religion, shared ancestry, or ethnic characteristics in, among other places, educational settings,” the advisory opinion states. “Those laws apply to Jewish individuals as much as they do other protected classes.” 

In particular, the advisory opinion cites Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Indiana Civil Rights Act (Ind. Code art. 22-9). 

“Many of these laws impose affirmative obligations on educators at the university and K-12 levels to combat antisemitism when it arises,” the opinion further states. “In particular, educators may in many cases be required to take affirmative steps to end harassment, intimidation, and violence against Jewish individuals in the educators’ schools and on their campuses.”
