Batesville, IN — Batesville Casket Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hillenbrand, Inc. (NYSE: HI) and a leader in the death care industry in North America, and the City of Batesville are recognizing Earth Day today by announcing the company’s donation of a 1.5-acre parcel of land to help expand the city’s Trail project. The company has worked closely with Mayor Mike Bettice and his team to facilitate the land donation.
The land along Highway 129 just south of Highway 46 in Batesville will help the city connect Liberty Park to the Southeastern Indiana YMCA. This piece of the trail is part of a community-wide initiative to connect the city and make it more walkable, a foundational element of the concept of placemaking.
