Our Southern Indiana Regional Development Authority approved projects totaling over eight million dollars  were approved from the $45 million  (READI) funds allocated by (IEDC).

The city of Madison was awarded $3.5 million dollars to create a permanent amphitheater at Bicentennial Park and $2 million to develop housing on property that is owned by the City at Jefferson Street and Vaughn Drive.

Jefferson County was awarded $3 million dollars to develop a Krueger Lake Campground at the former Jefferson Proving Ground.

The City of Madison had requested five million dollars for the project at Bicentennial Park, a commitee will be formed to help with the development of the project. The project could potentially cost nearly seven million dollars.

The proposed Krueger Lake Campground would meet a huge demand for campsites with full amenities and hook ups, with a major new regional park by better utilizing beautiful and accessible county-owned land
