Congratulations to Richmond, IN, as it was recently chosen as a finalist for the Stellar Communities Program in 2013.

What is Stellar Communities? “The Stellar Communities Program is a multi-agency partnership designed to fund comprehensive community development projects in Indiana’s smaller communities. The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, and Indiana Department of Transportation, along with the State Revolving Fund, are participating in this innovative program.

The Stellar Communities program embodies collaborative government partnerships and successfully leverages state and federal funding from multiple agencies to undertake large-scale projects. Through this program, Indiana is doing more with current resources and making a bigger impact in communities, even with a slimmer budget.” (http://www.in.gov/ocra/2513.htm)

If Richmond were to win the competition, it would make it possible to advance the public efforts on projects and initiatives

where private-sector endeavors have already begun.

Winning the Stellar Communities award would mean that Richmond would be accelerating the transformation of the city from projects started years before, when they were incorporated in the city’s Master Plan. “We’re trying to make the point that we can be even more successful tying all these projects together by creating walk-ability, housing opportunities, business development and entrepreneurialism,” said Tony Foster, Executive Director for the Department of Metropolitan Development at the City of Richmond.

Stay tuned during the next 5 weeks to learn more about the Stellar Communities Program and Richmond’s progression in this exciting opportunity to help boost our current efforts to make this the most exciting city it can be for our residents, employees, and visitors.
