The Indiana Regional Cities Initiative:  A Look Inside


Today we review the proposal of the Southwest Indiana region, with Evansville, Ind. as its hub.


The goals: 

  • Grow the population by 70,000 people - helping Indiana achieve its goal of growing the Indiana population by 2 million in ten years.
  • Retain 80% of the physician residents graduating from Indiana University School of Medicine - Evansville as each physician will fill the gap in healthcare delivery while raising the per capita income to match the U.S. average.
  • Expand the region's employment in the key sectors by 20% with an emphasis on innovation, research and development.
  • Reinforce Evansville's role as a regional city, leveraging its strategic location to gain market share currently being captured by Nashville, St. Louis and Louisville; and,
  • Increase the population in downtown Evansville by 2,500 residents through a focus on urban renewal and mixed-use development.
  • Transform Evansville's downtown area into a vibrant 24/7 urban event center with a variety of choices for dining, nightlife, entertainment, housing, and unique experiences.
  • Reinvigorate the network of historic places and enclaves of unique character, throughout the region, by enhancing and connecting them via integrated urban design and appropriate intermodal movement systems.

Mulligans Win 1si's First Golf League Season               
1si is proud to announce the winners of its first season of the golf league.  Over 40 participants and 6 teams competed on eight Tuesday nights at the Elk Run Golf course in Jeffersonville.  Teams played head to head competition  using a handicap system to equalize golf play.  There were 50/50 drawings, closest to the pin contests and plenty of networking.  Elk Run was a great host and made the experience memorable. 

Many of the golfers had never played in a golf league, and there were all levels of skill participating.  The "Mulligans" captained by Jeff Money, played a strong season and answered the challenge from all competitors.  Scoring was close but the Mulligans toughed it out. 
 
Congratulations to the Mulligan Team!:
