Clinton County Receives $3 Million Investment From Department of Commerce

Published on

“It’s exciting news,” said Shan Sheridan the head of Clinton County Economic Development.

Sheridan had foreshadowed the announcement of the $3 million federal grant from the Economic Development Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, during the Monday, August 10, 2020, Frankfort City Council meeting.

He was waiting on the official announcement and this afternoon, Wednesday, August 12, 2020, it happened.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross announced that the Department’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding a $3 million grant to Clinton County, Indiana, to make wastewater infrastructure improvements needed to support business growth throughout the region. The EDA grant, to be matched with $5.1 million in local funds, is expected to create 150 jobs, retain 650 jobs, and generate $37 million in private investment.

Sheridan explained why this grant was able to be awarded to Clinton County.

“We have been part of the regional partnership (North Central Indiana Regional Partnership) for about 13 years, since 2007,” said Sheridan.

He continued, “the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy was created in 2015. The only reason that we could receive that grant, which is going to be the wastewater infrastructure project to I-65, is because of the comprehensive economic development strategy that we’re part of.”

The Region consists of six counties; Fulton, Howard, Cass, Tipton, Clinton, and Miami.

The award announced today is the largest ever awarded to a member of the Regional Partnership and the first ever awarded by the EDA in Clinton County.

“It will be the largest grant that our Region has received. It is also the largest grant that Clinton County has received, actually the only grant that Clinton County has ever received from EDA,” Sheridan added.

Sheridan told the Council members the cost for Clinton County residents to be part of the Regional association is approximately 77 cents per residents with the cost shared between the City of Frankfort and County. That cost equates to around $26,000 per year.

“We have broken it down to 77 cents per constituent every year based upon a little under 34,000 County members. The County pays $13,000 and the City pays $13,000,” Sheridan explained.

“President Trump is working diligently every day to improve our country’s infrastructure so communities can facilitate job creation and success,” said Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. “This new and reliable wastewater system will provide Clinton County with the necessary infrastructure to attract new businesses and accelerate economic growth.”

“Working with communities and regions to support their locally-driven strategies to provide businesses with the necessary infrastructure to grow and thrive is a major focus for EDA,” said Dana Gartzke, Performing the Delegated Duties of the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development. “We are pleased to support Clinton County’s efforts to increase the capacity of their water infrastructure to support economic expansion.”

“This investment in strengthening our wastewater facilities will create jobs, promote businesses, and help the Clinton County community succeed,” said Governor Eric Holcomb. “This project is a great example of how government and business work together to get the job done.”

Big Ten Postpones Fall Sports Due to COVID-19

Published on

The Big Ten Conference announced the postponement of the 2020-21 fall sports season, including all regular-season contests and Big Ten Championships and Tournaments, due to ongoing health and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In making its decision, which was based on multiple factors, the Big Ten Conference relied on the medical advice and counsel of the Big Ten Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases and the Big Ten Sports Medicine Committee.

“Our primary responsibility is to make the best possible decisions in the interest of our students, faculty and staff,” said Morton Schapiro, Chair of the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors and Northwestern University President.

“The mental and physical health and welfare of our student-athletes has been at the center of every decision we have made regarding the ability to proceed forward,” said Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren. “As time progressed and after hours of discussion with our Big Ten Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases and the Big Ten Sports Medicine Committee, it became abundantly clear that there was too much uncertainty regarding potential medical risks to allow our student-athletes to compete this fall.

“We know how significant the student-athlete experience can be in shaping the future of the talented young women and men who compete in the Big Ten Conference. Although that knowledge made this a painstaking decision, it did not make it difficult. While I know our decision today will be disappointing in many ways for our thousands of student-athletes and their families, I am heartened and inspired by their resilience, their insightful and discerning thoughts, and their participation through our conversations to this point. Everyone associated with the Big Ten Conference and its member institutions is committed to getting everyone back to competition as soon as it is safe to do so.”

The fall sports included in this announcement are men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball. The Big Ten Conference will continue to evaluate a number of options regarding these sports, including the possibility of competition in the spring. Decisions regarding winter and spring sports will also continue to be evaluated.

The Big Ten Conference is proud of its 14 world-class research institutions and has leveraged their resources and expertise to address this pandemic over the past five months. The Big Ten Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases and the Big Ten Sports Medicine Committee have engaged in extensive research and sharing of materials and conversations with federal, state and local government agencies, and professional and international sports organizations in order to track and better understand the daily updates surrounding this pandemic. Their advice and counsel have been invaluable as they have worked tirelessly over the past several months in their efforts to create and maintain a safe environment for athletics.

The Big Ten Conference will continue to work with medical experts and governmental authorities to gather additional information, evaluate emerging data and technologies, and monitor developments regarding the pandemic to make the best decisions possible for the health, safety and wellness of our student-athletes.
