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.
If you would like to submit an accomplishment, e-mail Josh Alsip at jalsip@terrehautechamber.com.
