Information for You

Market Street Improvements Work has started on improvements to Market Street between Fort and Mulberry streets. The street will be closed to through traffic through October.

The environmentally-friendly streetscape will include elements such as rain gardens to cleanse storm water and period lighting.

Concept images: Image 1, Image 2, Image 3.

The longer-term goal is to continue the streetscape to Spring Street, to help provide a visual connection between Spring Street, the canal (which will run down what is now Mulberry Street) to Restaurant Row, which is in the 700 block of West Riverside Drive.

Unclaimed Property Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller visited City Hall for a press conference on unclaimed property on Thursday, September 1.

Zoeller's Unclaimed Property Division is holding $350 million in assets, including $14.8 million in unclaimed property from 16 southeastern Indiana counties that include Clark and Floyd.

Zoeller's visit was part of a statewide media blitz to remind people to make regular checks of the state's unclaimed property registry www.IndianaUnclaimed.com.

Redevelopment Commission The Jeffersonville Redevelopment Commission has declared 23 properties as areas in need of redevelopment, which is the first step in obtaining $2.5 million in Community Development Block Grant funds from the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority for the purchase of the homes and the relocation of those who live in them.

The declaration was made because all of the properties are subject to repeated flood damage. About 85 percent of the homes are located in the vicinity of West Eighth Street and Indiana and Ohio avenues.

The City Council and Plan Commission must also approve the plan before the city can access the Community Development Block Grant funds.

New Hope Services Inc. conducted the survey that was used to determine the properties' eligibility for the program.
