Josh Alsup, vice president of regional engagement for the West Central Indiana Partnership, told the board the group is staffed, aligned with the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce, and modeled on similar regional partnerships in Indiana. \"We wake up every single day thinking about regionalism and how we can advance West Central Indiana,\" Alsup said.

Alsup said the partnership's goals include strengthening regional collaboration, expanding housing availability and affordability, investing in regional infrastructure, promoting economic development and workforce growth, and enhancing quality of life. The partnership also described several implementation programs: a West Central Indiana Talent Network, an intern-experience program for college interns, a civic-engagement series, and a reimagined leadership academy built on prior regional leadership programs.

Jonathan Eilbruck, director of strategic programming, described the intern experience as \"providing community connection beyond the work experience.\" The program will run six events in June and July; last year 31 interns participated and the partnership opened registration on April 7 with a May 9 closing date, seeking 30–50 participants this year.

Jess Crawford, vice president of strategic marketing, described marketing initiatives and a concrete example of regional support: the partnership provided a letter of support for a grant application from Vigo County Parks and Recreation for a championship-level disc-golf course at Fowler Park. Alsup said the group coordinated stakeholder sign-ons and that the applicants received the Indiana Destination Development Corporation grant.

The partnership also outlined a regional census day planned for April 24 aimed at collecting at least 250 responses per county across the five-county region to measure community sentiment and track changes over time.

Commissioners praised the partnership's work and noted the local Chamber's role and the casino-resort-backed funding that supports the regional position. The board accepted the presentation; there were no formal votes tied to the briefing.

","The West Central Indiana Partnership presented a regional plan and programs — including an intern experience, leadership pipeline, a regional census and support for a Fowler Park disc-golf grant — seeking county collaboration and local participation.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":44,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6273901,"Vigo County approves RQAW contract for South-side treatment facility design, pauses broader work pending state tax changes",79,97585,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2997124-8a22c0c92e0fff1ebba531f89104d634&start=97&end=177","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2997124-8a22c0c92e0fff1ebba531f89104d634/thumbnail_97585.jpg","/articles/6273901/Vigo-County/Indiana/Vigo-County-approves-RQAW-contract-for-South-side-treatment-facility-design-pauses-broader-work-pending-state-tax-changes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273901-3fa8321b9a6b20f047b1b4d2629e8603/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448329&Signature=PBLh2RdCVcZnAOOK5ocThbqAjNhhLVd-0BQcy8KgEM7NM0i4Y5vEO2JreIKWeW8OUVF2F~SR6KGv3ULrNT4taQvoT4MnYDK2punqCioHldiVPU3kPApc0dl7nfnurY7KBmZohdMUuYNW8kvaO91qtDg0WErwboQFewUdW880DKWWKeM8UmgUFNd4BZq0NYqgDEttiEFcOyD5OPB9286mGBq9hWSapghKSGxQx6M7NmLrY008DAK-zaWv08seV4QFzE-cNf0Vktkc1Y4DZnYSm1lCQTyc8w~V5IWPxUwbiVq081d-FVy8MfucvS2SR6cBkF7T41aom4VxWgwsWWItoA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Vigo County Commissioners voted to approve a contract with RQAW for final design work on a proposed treatment facility on the county's south side near the new Vigo County Security Center.

Commissioner Mark Clinkenbeard, County Commissioner, described the county's selection process and the scope the board considered, then moved to approve the contract. \"It's about time RQAW gets paid,\" Clinkenbeard said during the discussion. He also told colleagues the board would \"pump the brakes just a little bit\" on further commitments after the Legislature passed Senate Bill 1 late the previous day to assess the potential revenue impacts on property and local-income tax arrangements.

The contract approval authorizes RQAW to proceed to a final design phase. Commissioners said the county evaluated alternate proposals, including a proposal from DLZ and work led by a local J-RAC team, and discussed different sizes and scenarios for the project over recent weeks. Clinkenbeard told the board the county had met with most commissioners during the design-selection process.

Commissioners approved the motion by voice vote; the meeting record shows affirmative responses during the roll call, and the motion passed. The board did not record a detailed roll-call tally in the transcript; the action was concluded by an affirmative voice vote.

Why it matters: final design work will set most technical parameters for the facility that could be required before construction funding, permitting, and interagency coordination. Commissioners flagged a potential delay of roughly a month to see how state-level tax changes under Senate Bill 1 might affect county revenue assumptions.

Next steps: RQAW will proceed with final design under the contract terms approved; county staff and commissioners indicated they would pause on committing additional funding or moving beyond design while revenue impacts from Senate Bill 1 are assessed. The transcript does not specify contract dollar amounts, exact schedule, or which county department will manage implementation.

","The Vigo County Commissioners voted to approve a contract with engineering firm RQAW to complete final design for a treatment facility south of Terre Haute, but commissioners said they would delay further work while assessing the effect of recently passed Senate Bill 1 on local revenues.","actionData","errors"]
