EREP BUDGET

0

Evansville Regional Economic Partnership staff members struggled this week to answer questions from a county commissioner and attorney concerning details in an audit provided to the county.

EREP staff provided information about efforts to attract new residents and its riverfront redevelopment plan at the regular Vanderburgh County Commissioners meeting. After the presentation, Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave asked about attracting new jobs.

 “One of the key reasons why the commission contracts with EREP is to recruit new business and support existing business, of course, but my question is has any business located in the county in the last 12 months?”

E-Rep Economic Development Director Patrick Hickey responded, “Twelve months, not that I’m aware”

Musgrave also inquired about the public’s access to E=REP meetings. The three staff members present looked behind them to Chief Economic Development Officer Josh Armstrong, who was sitting in the audience.

Armstrong stood and said, “E-REP meetings are not open to the public.”

Though it receives hundreds of thousands of taxpayers’ dollars and helps allocate millions in state money, E-REP is a private corporation not subject to disclosure laws like a government agency.

Armstrong remained silent as attorney David Jones inquired about a recent audit provided to the country as a condition of the funding it provides EREP. His line of questioning concerned ownership of the property at 420 Main Street, where E-REP is spearheading a mixed-use development using millions of state and City of Evansville dollars.

Jones asked about the nature of the investment.

Program manager Colten Pipenger responded: “I am not 100 percent positive on the official terminology from a financial standpoint, I’ll have our finance team get back with you but EREP through the Downtown Evansville Community Development Corporation played a part in the Fifth and Main redevelopment.”

Aces men’s soccer remains unbeaten in shutout win over Eastern Illinois

The Purple Aces recorded a season-high 29 shots
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Three players matched their career-highs in shots during a match as the University of Evansville men’s soccer team peppered Eastern Illinois in a 1-0 victory.
The Purple Aces brought the offensive firepower on Wednesday night, recording 29 shots with 11 ending up on goal. UE was only able to capitalize on one shot as fifth-year forward Kai Phillip (Diego Martin, Trinidad and Tobago) scored his first goal of the season. Graduate forward Sami Owusu (Denver, Colo. / Dayton) recorded his second assist on the season while redshirt sophomore midfielder Brayden Doll (Noblesville, Ind. / Noblesville HS) recorded his first career assist as an Ace with a deflection to Phillip.
“Any time you win it feels good,” said Head Coach Robbe Tarver following the match. “It’s the exact same amount of wins as last season, so it’s nice to do that in the first four games. You always want to win, but would we expect to be 4-0 after the first four games? I don’t know because things happen.
“Happy to be 4-0. Happy to get the win at home. Happy to grind out a result against a feisty EIU team that caused us some problems. Just glad that we’re 4-0.”
After Eastern Illinois recorded the first shot on goal of the game, Evansville didn’t allow another chance for the Panthers through 88 minutes. The Aces quickly dominated the game, throwing six shots at EIU’s goalkeeper Kyce Toutanji in the first 22 minutes. But UE wasn’t able to find the back of the net in the first half despite close chances from Owusu and senior forward Nacho Diaz Barragan (Almeria, Spain.)
It didn’t take long in the second half though for Evansville to grab the lead. Only four minutes into the second 45, in the goal box Owusu kicked the ball to the side past Toutanji. Owusu’s kick then deflected off of Doll at the top right corner of the goal box to Phillip who launched the ball with his right foot into the left side of the net for the only goal of the match.
The Aces had multiple close chances in the final 25 minutes as Diaz Barragan, senior midfielder Jose Vivas (Teruel, Spain), and redshirt freshman midfielder Jacopo Fedrizzi (Guilia, Italy) registered four shots within two minutes of each other. In the final 10 minutes alone, UE took seven shots with two landing on goal. In total Evansville had 29 shots on Wednesday night, the team’s most since a program-high 46 shots against Anderson in 2017.
Phillip, Diaz Barragan, and Vivas matched their career-highs for shots in a game with six each to lead the Aces. Vivas put four of his six shots on goal for a 66.7% shot accuracy through 49 minutes of action. Freshman goalkeeper Michal Mroz (Elk Grove, Ill. / Elk Grove HS) recorded his second shutout of his young career making one save while seeing six other shots go wide of the net.
UE continues its busy week of action with a road game on Friday. It will be the first of two away matches for Evansville as they travel to another OVC school, Lindenwood. Kick-off for The Aces matchup with the Lions is set for 7 p.m. on September 6th.

Hu joins the Thunderbolts following two dominant seasons of senior hockey with the Plattsville/Woodstock Lakers of the WOSHL between 2022-2024, in which Hu won league MVP honors in back-to-back years by scoring a whopping 72 goals and 113 points in 44 regular season games.  The Mississauga, Ontario native previously played junior hockey for the London Lakers of the GMHL in 2015-16 and 2018-19, along with the St. Thomas Stars of the GOJHL between 2016-2018.  Following his final season of junior hockey, Hu began playing senior hockey with the Tillsonburg Thunder of the WOAA in 2019-20 before the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, at which point Hu had finished with 3 goals and 9 points in 6 games with Tillsonburg.
                “I feel that I am a well-rounded forward with strong offensive awareness but can also be relied upon in key defensive situations,” replied Hu when asked about his style of play. “Looking into playing in the SPHL, the Thunderbolts organization popped out to me as a tough team to play against while also having a great team environment to be a part of, and I have heard nothing but great things about Ford Center and the other facilities in Evansville.  I’m very excited to get started and to contribute as much as I can for the team!”  In adding Hu to the roster, Coach Bes commented: “Kevin has proven at every level that he can score goals and can be counted on in every situation.  With his offensive instincts and creativity, we are excited to add him to our lineup this season.”
