In December of 2015, the State of Indiana chose Southwest Indiana as one of the three regions to receive $42 million in state matching funds geared toward talent attracting projects. From leveraging the new The Stone Family Center for Health Sciences to redefining urban living through connected downtown housing called the Post House, the region’s plan represents an exciting and achievable return on investment for Indiana’s Great Southwest.

“Building outward from a strong core in Evansville, Southwest Indiana radiates with exciting opportunities and plans to develop dynamic communities to live, work and play. Looking back, future generations will see Indiana’s bicentennial as a time when Hoosiers came together to create a better tomorrow, and Southwest Indiana is at the forefront.” – Mike Pence, 50th Governor of the State of Indiana
