Community Plan Accomplishments

Terre Haute-Vigo County has a lot to be proud of in 2022. The community is making tremendous progress across all pillars that will be felt for years to come. We have over 150+ community accomplishments to celebrate, and we are only halfway through the year.


These 150+ accomplishments add up to a total investment of over $500 million! Business, government, and non-profit investments are going to help us reach our long-term goals of halting population decline and reversing the trend of declining per capita income. See the list of all of the accomplishments below.
