The Department of Metropolitan Development works every day to revitalize core neighborhoods in Evansville, effectively utilize federal grants to catalyze private investment in the community and improve lives through human services, preserve historic sites, and redevelop property to create a mooring for the market. We will be listening to neighborhoods in new ways, implementing a comprehensive asset based community development model, forging new partnerships within the local community, and looking for new ways to align investments around strategic capital improvement projects.
